What are the benefits?

We all use energy to heat and power our homes and can all therefore benefit from woodfuel.

Here are some of the advantages:

• Net carbon emissions can be reduced compared to fossil fuels.

• Modern woodfuel combustion technologies are clean and efficient.

• Given rising prices of fossil fuels, switching to woodfuel can actually reduce fuel bills.

• So long as forests are sustainably managed, woodfuel provides a renewable source of energy.

• Incorporating reclaimed clean wood into woodfuel systems helps to reduce the burden on landfill.

• Managing forests for woodfuel also benefits a wide range of other forest functions such as biodiversity.

• Financial returns from woodfuel can fund further woodland management.

• Using woodfuel contributes to UK renewable energy targets.

• Woodfuel businesses create and sustain rural jobs.
