Quality clean green wood fuel

A peer-nominated working group of wood fuel suppliers met in Athlone on the 29th April to develop a wood fuel quality assurance scheme for Ireland. This scheme applies to logs, chips, pellets and briquettes formed from clean wood. This QA scheme will provide customers with confidence that they are purchasing a quality wood fuel from a sustainable source relevant to their needs.

The standard includes both end-product testing and monitoring of the supply chain process. Documentation requirements will ensure the wood is sourced responsibly. Customers are protected as the supplier retains responsibility for the product quality until the point of purchase.
