<p>Sustainability in relation to wood burning for domestic appliances varies depending
on the appliance. The sustainability requirement for fuel used in the Renewable Heat
Incentive (RHI), which support biomass boilers and pellet stoves used for heating
and hot water for domestic properties, includes a greenhouse gas emissions limit and
specific land criteria. These requirements are set out in the RHI regulations through
the obligation for ‘approved sustainable fuel’ to be used in domestic RHI accredited
installations. There is no specific sustainability requirement for fuel for other
domestic appliances such as traditional open fires or wood burning stoves.</p>
