Reduced Emissions

A majority of the Defra stoves that we sell are certified as Ecodesign Ready. This means that they have been regulated by the EU to be as efficient and clean burning as possible. The Ecodesign regulations have higher standards for efficiency and emissions than government's "clearSkies" scheme.

The primary benefit of the Defra approved stove is that it produces much less smoke than a non-certified stove. The reason for this is that they are designed to ensure a constant flow of air to the fire. This is done by having a secondary, and sometimes a tertiary, air intake. This prevents the stove from being starved of air during the process of combustion and reduces the amount of black smoke it emits.

Modern stoves also produce less harmful particles than older models. This is important, because particulate pollutants can enter the bloodstream. They are then carried around the body and lodge in the lungs and heart. This can lead to serious health problems and even premature death.

The EU wants to reduce pollution from all sources, despite the fact that the latest models emit less harmful pollutants. It has been associated with asthma and other respiratory ailments.

To achieve the new targets for air quality, the government has published an initial draft Environment Plan. The plan aims to reduce the average PM2.5 concentrations in the UK to 10 micrograms/cubic metre by 2040. This will require an increase in the emissions of domestic fuels, which includes wood stoves.

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