Tip a friendMorsø gives you local warming. Not global.
Wood has quite a special property when talking about CO2. As the tree grows, it absorbs and locks in enormous amounts of carbon dioxide as part of the photosynthesis process. Precisely the same amount of CO2 is released into the atmosphere, when the tree is felled and burnt. If burning-off takes place efficiently, the count adjusts downwardly, so we can say that wood is CO2-neutral and therefore a green energy source.
Not only that, wood – unlike e.g. oil, coal or gas - can be reproduced by planting new trees to replace those cut down. The neutral CO2-cycle can therefore be maintained. Generation after generation.
To bring the CO2 count completely down to zero, the wood, as mentioned above, must be burnt off as efficiently as possible. And this is where Morsø’s wood-burning stoves score their first important points. Our many years of experience and constant development mean that, today, each and every one of our wood-burning stoves are among the most efficient combustion systems in the world.
Did you see the smoke?
On the one side, there’s talk about CO2 and global warming. On the other, there’s the recurring debate about soot, which, along with harmless water vapour, is contained in the smoke emitted from a wood-burning stove. Are soot particles harmful to health? Under what conditions? If so, at what quantity does it become a problem? Whatever the case, we should use our stoves so that no smoke comes out the chimney. Even if the smoke isn’t harmful, it can smell and be unnecessarily unpleasant for our neighbours.
There is still uncertainty surrounding the answers. So, it is precisely for this reason that we have decided to put every effort into the development of our stoves. If there’s one thing we won’t under any circumstances take any chances with it’s our customers’ health. The demonstrable result is that the emission of particles from a modern Morsø wood-burning stove has been reduced to an absolute minimum through refined combustion technology and advanced purification systems.
The fact that the quantity of particles emitted depends very much on how you use your stove is a completely different matter.
Safety is standard
Morsø’s wood-burning stoves meet some of the strictest environmental standards in the world. This mainly applies to Norwegian Standard NS 3058/3059, which sets out stringent requirements on minimising particle emissions. To highlight our environmental focus, the majority of Morsø’s stoves are, today, also certified to the Nordic Swan Eco-label. This not only focuses on minimising the stove’s impact on the environment when in operation, it also focuses on the impact on the environment caused by the actual production and choice of packaging etc.
Our stoves are also tested for low particle emissions in the USA, UK and Austria.
All our stoves comply with European Standard EN 13 240, which, in other words, means that the stoves are CE-marked.
