Firewood, a renewable energy source

La leña es un combustible derivado de compuestos vegetales
Contents

Firewood is a fuel derived from charcoal, wood chips, shavings, slabs, pellets and sawdust. Its use depends on factors such as origin, quantity, quality and application.

Firewood vs. electricity and gas

As we have seen in recent years, rising electricity and gas prices have compromised the household economy. Therefore, the development of renewable energies, such as wood, is a very important step for the environment. Due to these price increases, the sale of wood and pellet stoves has increased by more than 30% in recent months.

Biomass is a renewable energy that reuses natural resources to generate energy. Firewood is part of biomass and is an environmentally friendly and low-processing resource that allows the recycling of forestry materials.

Is charcoal a renewable energy source?

The answer is yes. Not everything that is burned is harmful to the planet, especially if the fuel comes from a renewable energy source.

Many people may think that it is better to light gas central heating than to burn logs, but, burning logs is much more environmentally friendly.

Wood, when burned, emits the same amount of CO2 as it absorbed during its life cycle. Therefore, it has a minimal impact on the environment.

Advantages of firewood as renewable energy

The main advantages are:

  • It is economical. Firewood has a more efficient performance at a cheaper price compared to electricity and gas.
  • Forest cleanliness. Using firewood is synonymous with investing in cleaning up forests and green areas.
  • Non-polluting. It is a renewable energy source that is very environmentally friendly.
  • Circular economy. The waste generated when it is burned can be used by the environment. For example, the ashes can be reused as fertiliser.
