Vineyard residues as a fuel for domestic boilers in Trento Province (Italy): Comparison to wood chips and means of polluting emissions control.

Highlights: [•] We compared the combustion of vineyard pruning residues and wood chips. [•] Flue gases and heavy metal emissions were considered. [•] Emissions from combustion of vineyard residues resulted within legal limits. [•] Electrostatic filters reduced the human toxicity potential factor of emissions. [•] Agro and forest biomass showed no difference in terms of heavy metals emissions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
