The Energy And Efficiency Of A Wood Burning Stove
Why Wood Burning Stoves are the way to go.
An Energy-efficient solution
Modern heating methods seek to maximise energy efficiency whilst minimising carbon emissions, and contemporary wood-burning stoves are optimised to meet these aims. Fuelled by wood logs, a woodburner offers virtually carbon-neutral operation sustained by an eco-friendly source of renewable energy.
Growing and harvesting trees for fuel creates a carbon-neutral 'virtuous circle': During the growth phase, trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere, and a virtually identical amount of CO2 is returned when the harvested logs are subsequently burned for heating. This is confirmed by official SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) statistics which govern, and measure, the overall energy efficiency and CO2 emissions of domestic properties. Wood logs are rated as a low-impact carbon-output choice with one kilowatt of heat generating just 0.008kg of carbon. Comparing the carbon produced by other fuels generating the same one kilowatt of heat: gas is responsible for 0.198kg, oil delivers 0.274kg, and electricity creates the most carbon residue at a costly 0.517kg.
