This article reviews the literature on the amount of hydrocarbon emission from the combustion of hogged fuel. The emissions varied over a wide range, amounting to 2.0 to 3.5 lb hydrocarbon per ton of fuel burnt in a boiler where the proportion of air in the combustion process was 25-100%. On the evidence of data for the annual use of hogged fuel in Oregon, the annual hydrocarbon emissions amount to 10,800 tons/year, of which 11% is considered to be reactive, i.e. contains unsaturated compounds. It is concluded that the hydrocarbon emissions are not significant pollution problem in Oregon.
