Is wood a Renewable Resource?
Wood is most definitely a sustainable resource that has been used since the beginning of time. Renewable Resource is defined as a source that can be naturally restored or replenished in the same timeframe that is compatible with mankind’s normal use. The heat energy from wood burning is actually the sun’s energy stored in the wood and later released in a wood burning furnace. Proper harvesting of wood is actually a pruning effect on our forests.
Yes! Wood is a plentiful renewable resource that has been safely used as a fuel longer than any other fuel – since the beginning of history. A “Renewable Resource” means that it can be restored and replenished by nature in a period of time that is compatible with our human use. The heat released from wood is actually stored energy from the sun-released when consumed in a wood burning boiler.
