Wood is regarded as a ‘carbon neutral’ fuel as it absorbs as much CO2 when it grows as is released when it burns – a natural cycle. Wood fuel takes just 5-20 years to grow, whereas fossil fuels such as oil and coal were formed over hundreds of thousands of years.

The main types of wood fuel are pellets and chips. Wood pellets are compressed wood, usually sawdust or wood shavings. They are easy to ignite, are dry, create very little ash and will flow freely through feeding mechanisms such as hoppers and augers. These properties make pellets ideal for automatic appliances. Where as wood chips are less dense, requiring more storage space and as wood chips are not formed to a manufactured standard like pellets, their quality is variable and more suited to large heating system, greater 500kW.
