Burning wood is causing particulate matter/smog pollution in Dublin, despite being marketed as "green". FWIW clean electricity and heat pumps remain the best way to heat IMHO. Or district heating in cities.https://twitter.com/InisEnvironment/status/1041655093211353088 …

The article's from 2015, is this program still on? It's a shame that they want to exchange outdoor boilers only and not also indoor boilers.
Sorry.. I don't know the current of the program. I believe they focused on outdoor wood burners because those are typically the worst polluters.
