Estimating Arctic Temperature Impacts From Select European Residential Heating Appliances and Mitigation Strategies
Abstract The use of residential heating devices is a key source of black carbon and other short‐lived climate forcer emissions in Arctic and other high‐latitude regions, with important impacts to the Arctic climate and human health. The types of combustion technologies and fuels used vary by region,...
