The proposed strategy is called &#8220;<strong><i>Rottamare ed educare<\/i><\/strong>&#8221; and it has been described in the <strong>White Paper<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aielenergia.it\/librobianco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aielenergia.it\/librobianco<\/a>) drawn up by AIEL with the aim of raising awareness of institutions, policy makers and public opinion on the contribution that the biomass sector can make to a more sustainable and clean domestic heat.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<b>The problem: particulate matter and biomass domestic heating<\/b><br \/>\nBiomass domestic heating produces particulate matter that accumulates in the atmosphere, particularly in some critical areas such as the Po valley. Most PM10 emissions come from outdated stoves and fireplaces characterized by obsolete and outdated combustion technologies. The wood and pellet appliances installed in Italy since more than 10 years represent the 70% of the total installed base, approximately 6.3 million, and contribute to 86% of the PM10 deriving from domestic biomass combustion (AIEL 2020).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;21653&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]<i>figure 1.

The path to technological turn over, which AIEL has estimated at about 350,000 new generators a year for 10 years, is the solution to help reduce the impact of domestic combustion of firewood and pellets on air quality. It is also essential to enstablish an incisive action of information and awareness of end users, in particular those who use firewood. Incorrect operation of the wood-burning appliance can in fact cause significant increases in PM10 and organic carbon emissions, responsible for the formation of PM10 in the atmosphere, even 10 times compared to optimal use.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;21657&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]<i>figure 2.

Another element is the strengthening of the voluntary certification scheme for wood and pellet-fired domestic heating generators, ariaPulita\u00ae and the use of certified wood fuels, such as ENplus\u00ae pellet certification and firewood and wood chips quality certification Biomassplus\u00ae. The importance of the professional qualification of installers and maintainers of biomass plants should also be remembered.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;21659&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]<i>figure 3.
