Our response to the consultation on the cleaner domestic burning of solid fuels and wood, published on 21 February, reflects this approach.</p><p> </p><p>We know that the burning of coal for domestic purposes is harmful to human health and the environment. That is why we will be working to help households that currently burn the most polluting solid fuels to shift to the most suitable, cleaner alternative for them. We will use the phased transition period to work alongside coal merchants to advise and educate their direct delivery customers on the benefits of alternative fuels. Analysis has been carried out that shows cleaner alternative fuels, such as Manufactured Solid Fuels (MSFs), are more energy efficient than coal, making them cheaper to burn. MSFs are available to be purchased in all areas of England.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 06/03/2020 12:28:57 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
