The problem
\n<\/strong>The use of renewable energy sources and the adoption of efficient technologies are some of the solutions that contribute to the fight against climate change. In Italy, wood biomass is already the main source of renewable energy today, but its use is not without complications. Notwithstanding recent information distortion, it is undeniable that the use of inadequate quality fuels, associated with the use of poor-performance combustion systems, can actually contribute to the increase of certain atmospheric pollutants, mainly the primary particulate (PM10).<\/p>\n

The solution
\n<\/strong>The Aria Pulita<\/a>\u00a0(Clean Air) project is the first Italian experience that defines a quality standard that allows for the measurement, evaluation and communication of the environmental performance of domestic heating appliances that utilize biomass. It is an important and transparent tool, that benefits consumers, the general public and operators. Aria Pulita<\/em> started from the experience of\u00a0AIEL<\/a>,, the leading national organization for the agroforestry biomass sector, with the technical-scientific support of Etifor and the participation of many partners such as ENAMA, ENEA and Legambiente. There are over thirty brands of manufacturers and distributors of stoves, fireplaces and inserts that have joined the initiative.<\/p>\n

The certification
\n<\/strong>Being the first experience of its kind in Italy, the\u00a0
Aria Pulita<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0certification classifies wood-based biomass-powered civilian heat generators, applying from 2 to 4 stars (in the future, up to 5) depending on increasing levels of environmental performance in terms of productivity and emissions of:<\/p>\n
