New research from the University of New Hampshire says the greenest way to heat your home this winter is a wood pellet stove.
Using wood pellets to heat a home in New England produces about half the amount of greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel sources, according to research from University of New Hampshire professor John Gunn. He said that comparison isn’t just about how clean wood pellets burn, it’s also about the amount of emissions the entire wood pellet economy creates.
