Wood as Fuel - Renewable Energy
The Earth has an abundant wood supply. Rotting trees emit similar greenhouse gases and heat energy to those burned in your stove. It is important to manage the cutting of dying or damaged trees as these are potential fuel for any home. Your heating system will function according to the wood's type and quality. Freshly-cut or wet wood contains about 50% moisture: ignition is difficult and less heat is produced, with high pollution. Well-dried, old wood ignites quickly to give double the heat with less effort.
