Defra Approved Stoves are proven to burn with minimal emissions. Carbon di-oxide emissions from woodburning are a tiny proportion of those for other fuels and are only releasing the carbon captured by the growing tree (see the schematic below). This, in turn is re-captured by the trees planted to replace felled trees and the whole cycle starts over again.........

A tree gives off CO2 when cut down and burned in exactly the same amount as if it died naturally and decayed over a period of time. Natural "Carbon Capture" or "The Carbon Cycle" makes woodburning eco-friendly, sustainable and carbon neutral, renewable resource.

• Wood-burning is the most environmentally friendly way of producing heat in your home.
• Wood logs are totally renewable resource, not dependent on foreign suppliers.
• Wood is Carbon neutral - see above. The carbon di-oxide released when burned is only that absorbed during the lifetime of the tree.
• Emissions from efficient woodburning are principally Wood-ash and water vapour - both absorbed back into the environment with no harm to the ecology.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world's forests.

Environmentally appropriate forest management ensures that the harvest of timber and non-timber products maintains the forest's biodiversity, productivity and ecological processes.

Socially beneficial forest management helps both local people and society at large to enjoy long term benefits and also provides strong incentives to local people to sustain the forest resources and adhere to long-term management plans.
