Abstract

Abstract The household sector has a significant role in the consumption of energy resources and related emissions. The household sector is responsible for around 1/3 of the total energy resource consumption in Latvia. This study aims to determine the level of control measures regarding household boilers by summarising the existing information on legislation and quality labels regulating the efficiency and emissions of household boilers in the EU. The focus is on PM emissions and small-scale heating system regulations in Latvia. The study shows that small-scale biomass heating systems lack proper control measures to limit created emissions. The situation regarding PM emissions is the worst in Latvia, in comparison to the EU and 8 other studied countries.

小型生物质供暖系统的排放和效率限制:法规，标准和生态标签

家庭部门在能源消耗和相关排放中起着重要作用。家庭部门约占拉脱维亚总能源消耗的三分之一。本研究旨在通过总结欧盟有关家用锅炉效率和排放的立法和质量标签的现有信息，确定家用锅炉的控制措施水平。重点是拉脱维亚的PM排放和小型供暖系统法规。该研究表明，小型生物质供暖系统缺乏适当的控制措施来限制产生的排放。与欧盟和其他8个被研究的国家相比，拉脱维亚的颗粒物排放情况最糟糕。
