Does using wood pellets from overseas mean that the carbon footprint is as high as gas, oil or coal?
You should minimise emissions from transport wherever possible, which means using local woodfuel, but you could ship it right round the globe (40,000 km) and still have a carbon footprint compared to any fossil fuel. If you’re uncertain whether to go for chips, logs or pellets, space heating only or a hot water boiler, this decision tree diagram may help.
