Are your briquettes environmentally friendly?
These days we face a challenge when wanting to heat our homes, we want reliable energy sources, while reducing our impact on the environment. In the search for sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solutions, our briquettes have come forward as a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
Briquettes are compacted blocks of saw dust, wood chips, bark, and other organic wood products, often sourced as waste from sawmills, offering you with an environmentally friendly fuel source.
What are Environmentally-Friendly Briquettes?
Wood briquettes or biomass briquettes are blocks of compressed organic materials, such as sawdust and wood chips from sawmills in the UK. They are an ozone-friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels, such as coal or charcoal. They are manufactured by compressing the wood at a high pressure, while reducing moisture, providing you with a dense brick of briquettes that offer high heat output, minimal smoke, and a long burn time.
Environmental Benefits of Briquettes
By choosing the briquettes from our store, you can enjoy a number of environmental benefits:
- Reduce Greenhouse Gasses – wood briquettes use waste products that would end up in landfills throughout the United Kingdom. The waste is converted into a fuel source, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping to combat climate change
- Sustainably sourced – our wood briquettes are sustainably sources, reducing the impact of deforestation. We only source products that come from sustainable forests, ensuring trees cut down are replaced
- Waste management – our briquettes are an ideal way to reduce waste from our sawmills. The sawdust and wood chips would be sent to landfills. By using our wood briquettes, you are using sawmill waste in an effective way.
Significant Environmental Benefits
When you change from traditional firewood to our environmentally friendly briquettes, you have the opportunity to drive significant change when it comes to the environment. Changing coal with wood briquettes, you reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy products.
It also helps to improve air quality. Our briquettes are clean burning. They are all Ready to Burn certified for the UK, which means that they have a low moisture content, and provide  a clean burn, enhancing the air quality within your home. Our briquettes are not made using any chemicals, glues, or adhesives, they are 100% natural and safe for use in your home.
Being clean burning, they don’t only give off minimal smoke, ideal for smokeless areas in the UK, they also produce less ash and creosote, which in turn, reduces the risk of chimney fires.
