The sulfur dioxide content of bark and wood residues that are used in wood energy boilers was analyzed. About 5% of the sulfur found in bark and wood is released into the atmosphere as SO2 during combustion; the 5% amounts to an emission rate of 0.001-0.02 lb SO2/million Btu energy. Sulfur content in wood is not stoichiometrically converted to SO2. (14 references, 2 tables)
