Land Energy Ltd has become the first fuel manufacturer in Scotland to join the Stove Industry Association (SIA) as a fuel member, marking a significant milestone for the responsible use of solid fuel heating in Scotland.
Fuel membership is the SIA’s newest membership category, with just 17 fuel members across the UK, the majority of which are based in England. Land Energy’s inclusion highlights the increasing role that the Scottish-based wood pellet manufacturer is playing in raising standards around sustainability, air quality and consumer education.
The SIA exists to represent and support stove and wood fuel manufacturers by promoting industry standards, safety, sustainability and the responsible use of solid fuel heating.
Land Energy’s membership reinforces its long-standing commitment to producing high-quality, sustainable and clean-burning wood fuels for home and business consumers throughout the UK.
David Hamilton, Head of Membership at the SIA, said:
“People do everything right. They go to a showroom, choose an Ecodesign compliant stove, have it professionally installed and commissioned, and then unknowingly undermine all of that by burning the wrong or ‘wet’ fuel. Modern stoves are engineered to burn quality fuel and it is vital that consumers follow the appliance manufacturer’s instructions on fuel to ensure optimal efficiency and minimal emissions.”
David Bone, Marketing Representative at Land Energy, said:
“Across the UK, wood-burning stoves remain a vital source of home heating. They are used in just over 2 million homes across the UK, with 151,000 in Scotland. By joining the SIA as a fuel member, Land Energy aims to work closely with manufacturers, retailers and installers to help drive consistent messaging and practical guidance for consumers across Scotland and the wider UK who are looking for the best fuel for their wood burner.”
Founded in 2006, Land Energy has become the UK’s largest producer of sustainable wood pellets and briquettes, supplying low-carbon renewable fuel to homes and businesses across the country, while also producing cat litter and horse bedding.
