Another year of reduction of combustion emissions reported by DEFRA on Household Stoves.
I bet the mainstream press and others never report this!

Defra has published the latest Emissions of air pollutants in the UK – Particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) - this being the data for 2024 - and it shows a 7.4% reduction in emissions from our sector.

Emissions of PM2.5 and PM10 from domestic combustion decreased by 7 per cent from 2023 to 2024. Looking at the longer-term trend, from 1990, emissions of both PM2.5 and PM10 from domestic combustion decreased by 76 per cent to reach the lowest level in the time series in 2009.

I've uploaded the SIA press release to the files section promoting this good news

Wood is a renewable fuel – when it’s sourced responsibly, it’s part of a natural cycle. 🌲🔥
Burning dry logs in a modern stove is a low-carbon, sustainable way to stay warm.
A great choice for cosy, resilient home heating.

Clean Air Night 2026 puts air quality in focus. The SIA explains why how we burn matters, and how practical choices can reduce emissions.

What you burn matters just as much as the stove you burn it in.

Using dry, well-seasoned wood is one of the simplest ways to reduce emissions and improve performance.

Just Like our own Logs on stoveindustrysupplies.com!

🪵 Burn wood with a moisture content belo 0–15% is ideal)
🪵 Look for the Ready to Burn label when buying fuel
🪵 Store logs correctly; dry, covered and well-ventilated
🪵 Use a moisture meter to check fuel before burning

Always avoid treated or painted wood and never burn household waste.
