Wood fuels - the environmental benefits

Thursday, July 22, 2010

While the current climate, should be the adoption of environmentally and economically sound policies in the apartment above the language of each. One of the best ways to effectively and efficiently heat your home, and saving at the same time costs and you do to reduce global carbon emissions and climate change is a wide choice of fuels wood are available.

It was also noted that the burning of firewood in the form of wood-burning stove activity is a much more environmentally friendly than combustion of other available fossil fuels like oil, coal and gas , which produce dangerous levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, the main cause of global warming.

Although fuel wood also releases CO2 into the atmosphere, CO2 from the tree took to the atmosphere during its life. This may be responsible for replacing each tree cut down and burned to be offset by a new tree. The natural chemical processes leading to the absorption of trees and eradication of harmful air pollutants, frustrated and raising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere of oxygen. Therefore, ensuring the planting of a tree to another, etc., will reduce the overall level of CO2 in the atmosphere, so the use of wood is in the worst cases, carbon-neutral at best reduce carbon.

There are many types of wood that can be used as fuel, but it can first be classified as hardwood or softwood. The density of hardwood logs is greater than softwood logs to burn with more intensity and release more energy. Not only hardwood logs is more economical because there are fewer protocols necessary funds to produce the quantity of heat required, but it also means they are profitable, as are the distances between stations extended and used means less protocols are bought fewer newspapers. Although softwood logs are easier to light, they are really only a viable option in the fall and spring, when small fires are needed to produce less heat.

It is also possible that the use of seasoned or unseasoned logs. Seasoned logs, is a large part of the SAP humidity, about 50 percent more seasoned keeps a diary, so they are less easy to light and burn. This means they put a larger amount of tar condensate in the channel stack, which can cause serious damage, they should build a fire in the unit. It is possible to store logs in an unseasoned storage space well ventilated. However, the process up to 12 months.

Seasoned logs are a good option for those looking for efficiency, cost effective alternative fuel and environmentally friendly. These have already been cut, dried and stored to reduce its moisture content, that is, the condensates are smaller and almost entirely destroyed by the combustion process, which means that residues of less harmful substances.

The most efficient choice than wood burners use the logs are kiln dried logs. They are extremely light and very dry, which is only about 20 percent of their original moisture. EPAL burning logs high intensity, high levels of heat produced with fewer newspapers. Although more expensive than wood stoves Protocols, less logs are required, which produces kiln-dried logs an incredibly cost-effective, efficient and surprisingly clean source of energy, waste is minimal.

The value and benefits of using wood stove wood for your heating needs are clear. They are a good choice for everyone to reduce their heating costs and any responsible energy is an integral part to play in reducing global emissions of carbon dioxide by using a completely renewable and sustainable energy.
