Benifits of Wood Burning

If markets for wood fuel can be developed, we can expect to see environmental, social and economic benefits.

Environmentally, burning wood from sustainable managed woodlands has no net impact on carbon dioxide emissions, unlike fossil fuels such as coal and oil.

Therefore, burning wood for fuel does not contribute to global warming. With this comes the possibility that a market for small roundwood could bring many small and forgotten woodlands back into active management with benefits for wildlife and countryside alike.
