Modern wood burning stoves have a clear role to play in our low carbon future and can help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels
The UK government “sees biomass as a low-carbon fuel provided that it is produced from sustainable sources” (Source: National Audit Office) and the Scottish Government defines biomass combustion as producing “net zero carbon emissions at the point of use” (Source:New Build Heat Standard (amended) 2024: business and regulatory impact assessment (see Section 10 and 11).
A modern stove will use less than a third of the amount of wood fuel compared to an open fire to give the same amount of heat. Wood fuel is renewable and sustainable, and can be locally sourced, helping to further reduce the carbon intensity of home heating.
Choosing a modern Ecodesign stove, such as a clearSkies certified model, is a highly efficient, cost effective, low carbon and low particulate matter emission way to heat your home when used correctly.
