2. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT WOOD AND
THE ENVIRONMENT
2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Burning firewood releases only as much CO2 as the tree has absorbed from the
atmosphere during its growth.
And when the firewood comes from nearby there are no additional CO2 emissions
from transport.
Wood rotting in the forest generates the same amount of CO2 as the same wood
burning.
2.1 WHAT IS WOOD?
Do you know what you are putting in the firing chamber of your Tonwerk storage
heating stove when you are filling it with wood?
This is 50% carbon, 42% oxygen, 6% hydrogen, and 2% mineral substances, nitro-
gen, oils, resins, tanning agents, and colorants.
… that is wood!
