We've attached a link to great article with a comprehensive overview of everything to do with climate change and the future of energy in Northern Ireland, including what's likely to happen to your oil and gas boilers and if these fossil fuels are likely to be replaced by hydrogen. The article is featured on the Energy Saving Trust website and we would urge anyone interested in these topics to read it, especially when it comes to trying to understand the fundamental differences between the two competing NI Climate Change Bills. We certainly learned a lot.
By the way the NI assembly is in summer recess until the 5th of September, so nothing will be happening with the two Bills until then but at least if you read this article you'll know what our politicians are arguing about. There's lots of useful background information to other aspects of Northern Ireland's unique energy context too. NI's extensive rural areas, poor gas network, dependency on oil for heating (some 68% of homes), fuel poverty (22% of homes) and over-reliance on personal vehicles are all areas that present real challenges. However, NI's strong renewable energy potential also offers great opportunities to cut carbon emissions. We would also add that a wood burning stove also has an important part to play in the low carbon home and doing your bit for climate change as well as helping to mitigate the effects of fuel poverty.

This year marks a major milestone for The Stove Yard: 20 years at the heart of home heating in Northern Ireland. From our humble beginnings back in 2005 to becoming Northern Ireland’s leading stove and fire retailer, it’s been quite the journey—and we think that’s worth celebrating.
To thank our loyal customers and mark the occasion, we’re launching our 20th Anniversary Sale, with up to 40% off selected stoves, fires, and BBQs. The sale runs from April 1st to May 31st, and all offers are available in-store at our Newtownards showroom.
On Saturday, April 5th, from 10 AM – 2 PM, we’re firing up the grills at The Stove Yard for a free BBQ tasting and live demo. Whether you’re thinking about getting a Traeger or just want some incredible food, this is your chance to see, smell, and taste what real wood-fired cooking is all about.
Will wood burning stoves be banned in the UK? Despite media scare stories, modern Ecodesign stoves are cleaner than ever, and sustainably sourced wood remains a carbon-neutral, renewable fuel. While regulations are tightening, wood burning stoves are here to stay.
