Wood is a renewable energy source:
Wood stocks are renewed in a few decades.
Wood is a clean energy source.
Burning wood releases CO2 (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere. The CO2 is then absorbed by trees as they grow.
In any case, CO2 would be released by the wood as it decomposes in the forest. Heating by using wood is therefore CO2 neutral.

Wood used to provide energy comes from a variety of sources:
• forests (through cutting and maintenance);
• the timber industry (sawmills, joineries, etc.);
• untreated scrap wood (from pruning, packaging or pallets);
• cultivation of special species (e.g. miscanthus);
• by-products from agriculture (fruit kernels, vine shoots & climbing stems, etc.).

Using wood energy assists with recycling.
It enables use to be made of by-products (the tops of trees, or branches) and of scrap wood (pallets and crates).
Using wood energy creates jobs.
For consumption of a given amount of energy, wood requires two to four times as much labour as fossil fuels (to deal with supply, conversion, the manufacture of wood-handling equipment, etc.).
