Product Information

Coal consumption is declining in the United States and Europe, as well as developed economies in Asia. The use of coal damages the environment, and it is the largest anthropogenic source of carbon dioxide contributing to climate change.

You also need to consider your location as a wood fueled appliance can produce more local emissions than an equivalent gas appliance which can be a problem in densely populated urban areas but not so much in rural areas. In Roman Britain, with the exception of two modern fields, "the Romans were exploiting coals in all the major coalfields in England and Wales by the end of the second century AD". But bacteria and fungi did not immediately evolve the ability to decompose lignin, so the wood did not fully decay but became buried under sediment, eventually turning into coal.The rich residents of Audley End House in Essex enjoyed hot baths and glowing firesides thanks to an innovative ‘coal gallery’. This underfloor heating system was known as a hypocaust – it was clever, but also terribly inefficient.

Sub-bituminous coal, whose properties range between those of lignite and those of bituminous coal, is used primarily as fuel for steam-electric power generation. Fireplaces were well-used by the affluent classes for heating their homes, having an open fire in most, if not all, rooms of the house. Climate modeling suggests that the Central Pangean Mountains contributed to the deposition of vast quantities of coal in the late Carboniferous.Efforts around the world to reduce the use of coal have led some regions to switch to natural gas and electricity from lower carbon sources.

So if you are collecting and burning untreated wood which is in your local area, wood can be a green heating option. One technique was to hang large pieces of decorative fabric – known as tapestries – across the walls. Syngas can also be converted into transportation fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, through the Fischer–Tropsch process; alternatively, syngas can be converted into methanol, which can be blended into fuel directly or converted to gasoline via the methanol to gasoline process.

In 2018 global installed capacity was 2 TW (of which 1TW is in China) which was 30% of total electricity generation capacity. At the vast Whitehall Palace in the centre of the capital, a maid was overseeing a hot brazier drying linen in an upstairs room of the grand palace.
