Burning wood emits more CO2 per unit of energy than coal due to wood’s lower energy density. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2006 noted that wood and wood wastes have a greenhouse emission factor ~20% higher than coal.

No, Burning Wood Fuels Is Not Climate-Friendly
As Europe and the United States look to cut their carbon emissions, the biomass industry wants us to pretend that logging forests in the American South could help.

The Government’s backward step on wood-burning stoves puts public health and climate action at risk
The Government's decision to permit wood-burning stoves in new builds contradicts growing evidence about the harmful effects these stoves have on public health and the environment.

Yep!
"The fundamental reason certification test procedures are not predictive of real-world emissions during in-home use is that there is a host of variables that make in-home usage quite different from the controlled test conditions in the laboratory."
