Burning the energy in fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that has been buried underground for millions of years. This carbon dioxide has been out of the carbon cycle so increases the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Renewable energy technologies are now being encouraged because they reduce our carbon footprint and slow down global warming.
Efficiently using the energy in wood fuel is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels for heat and hot water because it is abundant and almost carbon neutral. This means that the carbon dioxide released when burned is the same amount as it absorbed during its life when growing through photosynthesis. Therefore go green and help reduce our carbon footprint!
