Several types of fuel can be burned in a fluidized bed. This paper discusses the impact of low‐ or medium‐volatile fuels (coal) and high‐volatile fuels (biomass and waste) on the emissions of NO, N 2 O and other pollutants. It is found that high‐ and low‐volatile fuels behave in different ways, and measures to reduce emissions from coal combustion are not necessarily effective for high‐volatile fuels. This forms a basis for various design options. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
