Picture this: it’s a chilly evening, and you’re ready to light your fire. Whether you’re cosying up by the stove, enjoying the crackle of a fireplace, or gathering around an outdoor fire pit with friends, starting that fire is the first step to creating the perfect atmosphere. But have you ever thought about the firelighter you’re using? While there are plenty of options out there, natural wood wool firelighters, like those from Bowland Bioenergy, are not only the smart choice—they’re a game-changer.

As the world moves towards more sustainable energy solutions, wood fuel is becoming an increasingly popular choice for households and businesses alike. Whether you're heating your home with a wood stove, powering a biomass boiler, or looking for eco-friendly firelighters, wood fuel offers a renewable, carbon-friendly option that contributes to a healthier environment.

When it comes to horse care, the choice of bedding plays a crucial role in ensuring your animals’ health and comfort. In recent years, wood pellets have emerged as a popular alternative to traditional straw or shavings. Not only are they absorbent and easy to maintain, but when sourced sustainably and regeneratively, they offer significant environmental benefits as well. Let’s explore why wood pellets are an excellent choice for horse bedding, and why opting for sustainably sourced products matters.

When it comes to fuelling biomass boilers and stoves, the quality of the wood fuel you use has a huge impact on both efficiency and environmental performance. One of the most critical factors in ensuring optimal performance is the moisture content of the wood chip or logs. Moisture testing is an essential step in guaranteeing that your fuel is both efficient and eco-friendly. Let’s explore why this matters and what certifications like "Ready to Burn" and BSL accreditation mean for consumers in the UK.

As energy costs rise and concerns over climate change grow, many homeowners are searching for more eco-friendly and cost-effective ways to heat their homes. One solution that is gaining traction is using a wood-burning stove. When sourced from sustainably managed forests, wood offers a renewable, carbon-neutral fuel source that not only heats your home efficiently but also significantly reduces your carbon footprint compared to gas, electric, or oil heating. Here’s why.

Biomass boilers are an eco-friendly and efficient way to heat your home or business, using renewable resources like wood chips, pellets, or logs. However, like any heating system, regular maintenance is crucial to ensure its longevity, performance, and safety. Taking care of your biomass boiler not only extends its life but also ensures it runs efficiently, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Here’s a guide on how to look after your biomass boiler and keep it running smoothly.
