Quality wood

Quality wood project is improving firewood quality and environmentally sound use.

The Quality wood project will 

• improve firewood quality by promoting sophisticated fuel production and logistics systems,
• enhance the possibilities for professional firewood production and trade,
• provide firewood producers with knowledge on how to improve their production chains to meet the customers’ quality requirements,
• disseminate information on the means of firewood heating with higher efficiency and lower emissions – not only with modern appliances, but also by using the right firing habits,
• provide an expert assessment about the current status and future trends of the firewood market situation (quality and volumes), as well as the technical level of firewood production and combustion equipment.

The firewood use will be improved by enhancing co-operation, information and dissemination within the different market actors in the whole firewood chain.
