Proposal from the Irish Bioenergy Association to regulate moisture content of firewood for sale in Ireland

4/16/2020

0 Comments

 

In 2019 IrBEA submitted a detailed, evidence-based proposal to the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment on the issue of totally unsuitable wet firewood being placed on the market and the implications this has for air pollution, and the heating value of wood fuel. The submission was followed up in a further communications both the with department and the Environmental Protection Agency.
We had set a number of key recommendations to the department on the regulation of firewood for sale in Ireland. Specifically, we are calling for legislation to ban the retail sale of firewood with moisture content above 20% by the year 2022, with an interim limit of 25% by September 2020. We see this as a first and critical step to reducing emissions of carbon dioxide, particulates and nitrous oxides.”
