Wood Fuel is Virtually 'Carbon Neutral'

Greenhouse gases

Firewood News: Wood burning does not release any more carbon dioxide than the eventual biodegradation of the wood would if it was not burned. Wood burning can therefore be considered "carbon neutral" - the CO2 released to the atmosphere by combustion is recycled continously into new plant growth as part of the carbon cycle, while the energy released during combustion is simply a form of stored solar energy.
