Description
Low-grade fuels are those with a low calorific value per unit weight, such as peat, wood, lignite and municipal waste; consequently, they frequently emit a higher percentage of pollutant material after use than higher-grade fuels. Methods to reduce or eliminate environmental damage caused by these pollutants do exist, but are often relatively costly. This book offers specific, realistic strategies and policy options for managing these fuels with a minimum of damage to the environment.
