As with any other human activity, heating with wood can be done poorly or well.  Wood can be harvested badly, burned dirty with most of the heat wasted or it can be harvested in a sustainable way, burned in a clean, efficient manner with the energy used in a way that reduces  greenhouse gas emissions.

Obviously, we are all for the latter approach and you will find support for your efforts here – to use wood well. There are a lot of misconceptions about wood heating – hopefully we can help clear some of them up.  You’ll get a balanced view of the benefits of heating with wood.

Regardless of the energy source you choose, it will have an impact on the environment. The best energy sources are the ones that are renewable and the best are solar power and wind power since their environmental impacts tend to be the lowest. They do still have their problems and limitations however. Wood is another energy source that is renewable and it too has its problems and limitations.  Some of these can be managed and minimized, others cannot. But when used effectively, wood is a very good fuel compared to the alternatives like oil, gas and coal.
