Efficient Combustion

Defra wood burning stoves utilize the most advanced combustion technology to ensure an efficient and clean burning. This is done by ensuring the fire doesn't run out of oxygen. This means that any partially burned combustibles that aren't fully burned will not be able to escape the chimney and into the air, where they could create pollution.

Reduced Emissions

Many of the Defra stoves we sell are certified as Ecodesign Ready. This means they've been controlled to be as efficient and as green as the EU allows. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards of efficiency and emissions than the government's 'clearSkies" scheme.

A stove that is approved by Defra will produce less smoke than one that isn't certified. The reason is that they are built to ensure constant flow of air to the fire. This is achieved by having a secondary and sometimes even tertiary air intake. This ensures that the stove is not deficient in oxygen during the process of combustion and reduces the amount black smoke that it emits.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particulate pollution than older models. This is important, because particulate pollutants can enter the bloodstream. They then travel around the body and lodge in the lungs or heart. This can lead to serious health issues, and possibly premature death.

The EU wants to reduce pollution from any source, despite the fact that newer models emit less harmful pollutant. This is because it has been linked to a number of health issues, including asthma and respiratory disorders.

In order to achieve the new targets for air quality The government has released a draft Environment Plan. The plan aims at reducing the average PM2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms/cubic metre by 2040. This will require a significant reduction in emissions from domestic fuels, such as wood burners.

To achieve this, it will make it more difficult to buy and install stoves that aren't certified in smoke control zones.
