1 Survey of Residential Wood Combustion Activity and Development of an Emissions Inventory for the MANE-VU Region Megan Schuster, MARAMA Stephen Roe, E.H. Pechan & Associates National Emissions Inventory Conference June 10, 004
2 Residential Wood Combustion (RWC) Background Information Survey methodology and sample frame Survey results Two approaches to analyze data Emission results Comparison to NEI
3 Residential Wood Combustion Project Background RWC Emissions High contribution to regional haze Contribute approx. 8% of PM fine in MANE- VU region Large uncertainty Important local source to Class I areas States have the potential to improve the activity data
4 Telephone Survey Method Completed April 5, 003 May 0, 003 Intended to obtain information on wood burning equipment type and wood type Indoor equipment: furnace/boilers, pellet stoves, fireplaces, woodstoves Outdoor equipment: outdoor fireplaces, firepits, wood-fired barbecues
5 Survey Sample Frame Sample frame Includes important variables that affect activity (i.e., annual wood consumption) Urban, suburban, or rural locations Type of housing (single versus multi-family homes) Forested versus non-forested areas Latitude
6 HDD Zones for MANE-VU HDD Zones Miles E.H. Pechan & Associates, Inc. Date: January 8, 003. Source: 000 U.S. Census. Figure. MANE-VU Region HDD Zones

8 Survey Results - Activity Data Summary of Wood Burners in MANE-VU Region % Burns wood 68% 10% Has wood burning equipment, did not burn wood No equipment, does not burn wood

NH3 factors from Environ/Pechan (00). n/a = not available; It is assumed that PM10 = PM.5. 1 Includes masonry heaters. Masonry heaters were not broken out from fireplaces in the survey. These SCC s are proposed for non-certified and certified woodstoves, respectively. 3 These include both certified and exempt pellet stoves. PM10/PM.5 and CO emission factors are for certified pellet stoves based on the review by OMNI (1998). Emission factors for NOx and SO are taken for certified pellet stoves (emission factors for exempt stoves not available). 4 Emission factors for PM10/PM.5 from Acurex (1998); otherwise factors for fireplaces are used. 5 Includes all outdoor wood-burning equipment (e.g. fireplaces, chimineas, barbecues, fire pits). Emission factors for fireplaces are used
11 Pechan s Original Analysis (used for Outdoor Equipment) (used for Outdoor Equipment) Equipment specific wood consumption model Per census tract, for each type of equipment, the model would assign UF and AC. User Fraction: fraction of households that actually burn wood Annual Consumption: Amount of wood burned per household (cords/yr, or BTUs/yr) -- Normalized by HDD level Pechan combined data from cells that were not statistically different from one another Used for outdoor equipment types (not equipment specific)

13 Emissions from outdoor wood burning equipment First known estimate of emissions from outdoor wood burning equipment (not included in the NEI) Only based on 11 respondents who burn wood Only 19 (about 15%) were from multi-unit dwellings Uncertainty in these emissions is high, however it provides a preliminary basis for emission estimates from outdoor wood burning equipment
14 Alternative Analysis Approach (Indoor Wood Burning Equipment) Emissions model Pollutant emissions estimates were calculated for each survey response A general linear model was developed for each pollutant Advantages More detailed use of data Provided error estimate

21 Differences between the MANE-VU and NEI Estimates MANE-VU PM.5 inventory = 145,693 tons Includes pellet stoves and furnace/boilers Factor to convert wood consumption (cords) to tons = 1.8 tons/cord (few responses of softwood burning) Bottom up inventory from census tract level Allocates more emissions to rural areas PM.5 NEI for MANE-VU region = 77,393 tons Does not include pellet stoves or furnace/boilers Factor used to convert volume to mass = tons/cord National stats allocated to regions, then to counties Allocates more emissions to urban areas
22 Comparison of Indoor MANE-VU RWC and NEI PM.5 emissions in urban counties Model Estimate NEI Baltimore Co., MD Essex Co., NJ Ocean Co., NJ Passaic Co., NJ Albany Co., NY Nassau Co., NY New York Co., NY Richmond Co., NY Westchester Co., NY Allegheny Co., PA Bucks Co., PA Delaware Co., PA Philadelphia Co., PA Anne Arundel Co., MD District of Columbia
23 Comparison of Indoor MANE-VU RWC and NEI PM.5 emissions in suburban counties M-V Estimate NEI Sussex Co., DE Allegany Co., MD Calvert Co., MD Worcester Co., MD Nantucket Co., MA Chatauqua Co., NY Cortland Co., NY Montgomery Co., NY Columbia Co., PA Montour Co., PA Northumberland Co., PA Schuylkill Co., PA Tons

25 Conclusions Higher emissions estimates in MANE-VU inventory can be attributed to including more equipment types, regional differences (differences in both amount and type of wood burned) Distribution of emissions within region is more realistic
26 For future similar studies Need to obtain larger sample sizes in urban areas Simpler questionnaire for wood burners in urban areas (not experienced) Design survey to characterize wood consumption for primary vs. pleasure burners.
