‘Woodwarming – it’s Wonderfuel’ – Fri 28th & Sat 29th Nov

A quick reminder about this event:

‘Woodwarming – it’s Wonderfuel’ exhibition on Friday 28th & Saturday 29th November 10am – 4pm at Newport Football Club, St George’s Way, Newport, Isle of Wight

Getting hot under the collar about energy?
Many people are now switching to an economical, climate-friendly, local fuel: wood. Wood has kept people warm throughout human history – and it is still here today. Now we can burn it efficiently, easily and cleanly using modern boilers and stoves, so you can afford to be warm and still do your bit to tackle climate change. Woodfuel heating systems can also help to meet increasingly stringent building regulations.

A biomass boiler can be the heart of your home or business
Fuel from well-managed local woods and plantations is a reliable and completely renewable resource. With soaring gas and electricity prices, wood can help control energy costs and reduce our carbon footprint too. Management of woodland for woodfuel production also directly supports woodland species.
Woodfuel isn’t just for houses – modern wood-burning boilers and stoves are being incorporated into buildings of all sizes, including pubs, hotels, schools and glasshouses. Wood can even be used to heat entire communities.
