Carbon taxation is on the rise, businesses are feeling the financial pressure due to their carbon emissions. The cost of carbon tax, currently around $50 per ton of CO2 released, is taking its toll on companies that rely on non-renewable energy sources. 

For instance, coal, a notorious carbon culprit, emits a staggering 3.67 tons of CO2 per ton burned. Beyond the environmental implications, this translates to a hefty financial burden – an additional $183 paid in carbon tax per ton, not to mention the expenses of transport and purchasing the coal itself. 

Unlike coal and other carbon-based fuels, the combustion of biomass wood fuel only releases the CO2 previously absorbed by trees during their growth. This means no additional carbon tax.

One of the most compelling reasons to consider biomass wood fuel is its ability to future-proof your energy systems. With an ever-increasing emphasis on sustainability, investing in biomass wood fuel is an investment in a greener tomorrow.

The ability to replant trees means that wood fuel can be sustained indefinitely. Sustainable forestry practices ensure that the rate of tree harvesting does not exceed the rate of replanting, maintaining the long-term health of forests and their capacity to provide wood fuel.

When obtained from local sources, it competes favorably with other fuel options like oil, coal, and natural gas. Furthermore, when used for heating purposes, it can be the most cost-effective choice among various renewable energy alternatives.

Conversely, coal is non-renewable because it is a fossil fuel formed from the remains of ancient plants and organic matter over geological time frames, often millions of years. Once coal deposits are mined and consumed, they cannot be naturally regenerated in one's lifetime.
