Government is now advocating a big increase in the use of biomass to replace fossil fuels and discussing the planting of trees to produce wood products. Leaf Log is the only heat log manufactured in the UK made from a natural and sustainable resource. Nothing needs to die for Leaf Log to exist. With a burn time of up to 3 hours, Leaf Log can be used in stoves, chimineas, multi-fuel burners and open fires - in fact anywhere one would usually use coal or wood (except BBQ cooking) . Stored indoors (dry), you can simply return home after a long day, place a Leaf Log in the grate, light the bag (wrapper) and settle down in front of a cosy fire in a matter of seconds. No firelighters, kindling or hassle involved. Typically, each broad based British tree sheds up to 50,000 leaves each autumn resulting in approximately one million tonnes being dumped in landfill – with a small percentage redirected for composting Significantly, these leaves release methane (23 times more hazardous than CO2) into the atmosphere when decomposing. In contrast, when leaves are burnt they only give off the carbon they absorbed during the summer months on the tree - they add nothing extra to the environment making them carbon neutral. In order to reduce our own carbon emissions as a manufacturing plant, Leaf Log is used to heat our offices and research is taking place in order to utilise the product to produce itself ie converting the energy into electricity. BioFuels International Limited is a local business working with local authorities, residents and private/community organisations to reduce leaf litter from our streets by turning it into energy which can be burnt in the home and industry.
