Wood fuel is a renewable, low carbon alternative to fossil fuels. Burning wood that is sensibly sourced is low carbon as the wood is from trees that grow by absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. This carbon is released back into the atmosphere either by the wood decaying or being combusted. Using biomass as a fuel allows the carbon that would be released anyway to replace fossil fuels. Sustainable forest management allows for a stable supply of wood for fuel. Foresters replant as they harvest to ensure that the forest remains healthy and serves its important role as a carbon sink, while not affecting wildlife and biodiversity.
