Renewable energy is energy that is replaced by natural
processes (for example energy from sun, wind, tides and water flows)
Using renewable energy can reduce the amount of fossil
fuels we use, and so reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases believed
to be causing climate change. Generating your own electricity is
usually expensive, but using renewable energy such as Woody's logs to
heat your home is much more cost-effective.
WOOD FUEL is the most widespread renewable energy source
for heating in the UK. When wood is burned it produces the same amount
of carbon dioxide that it absorbed whilst growing - which would have
been released anyway if the tree had died and rotted.
Our wood is sourced from properly managed woodlands
(most FSC certified) so the woods will have healthier and more vigorous
trees.
Many people still regard the felling of trees as
destructive. In fact, as long as it is managed properly, felling is
beneficial for many reasons - The thinning of trees allows light
through the canopy to stimulate growth regeneration and natural flora
as well as allowing the remaining trees to flourish.
