Abstract
The paper compares the national scale (rather than local) air quality impacts of the various residential space heating options. Specifically, it compares the relative contributions of the space heating options to fine particlate emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, and acid precipitation impacts. The major space heating energy options are natural gas, fuel oil, kerosene, liquiefied petroleum gas (LPG), electricity, coal, and wood. Residential wood combustion (RWC) meets 9% of the Nation's space heating energy needs and utilizes a renewable resource. Wood is burned regularly in about 30 million homes. Residential wood combution is often perceived as environmentally dirty due to emissions from older wood burners.
