Against a background of dramatic energy price increases of 60% predicted by UK energy Watchdog Ofgem, CPL Distribution, the UK's Premier Coal Merchants has made a move into emerging eco fuel markets with the launch of their new biomass Wood Fuels Supply Division of 30 nationwide depots backed by a fantastic new website Logs2U.
UK fails to meet demand for Wood Fuels
Winter 2008 was one of the coldest winters for many years in the UK and it has led to many households assessing how best to heat their homes in the most cost effective and environmentally efficient manner possible.
Hundreds of fireplaces have been bought back into use and the sales of wood burning stoves and multi-fuel stoves have increased significantly as people turn to using wood fuels as a primary method of energy for heating, hot water, recreational uses and for cooking too. A huge resurgence in the use of - Kiln Dried Logs, Seasoned Logs, Fire Logs, Hardwood Logs and Firewood as eco friendly wood fuels has been dramatic to say the least.
Initial £300K expansion project
CPL Distribution (Part of CPL Industries Group) runs the UK's leading online Coal Merchant website Coals2U and has witnessed increasing demand in the last 18 months for quality seasoned hardwood and softwood logs alongside traditional orders for solid fuels. Such was the demand, that towards the end of Winter 2008 seasoned logs were nationally in short supply, wholesale prices rose unexpectedly and consumers were left with only unseasoned wood or softwood to burn.
For Winter 2009, CPL have launched the UK's first, National Home Delivery Service for Premium Kiln Dried Hardwood Logs - alongside a range of seasoned logs, eco solid fuels and other wood fuel products.
Logs2U Marketing Manager - Jon Carter, comments “Consumers are increasingly turning to eco sustainable sources for fuel and we expect the demand for logs to exceed last year. To solve the problems of sourcing large quantities of seasoned hardwood logs we have now invested in our production facilities to provide Premium Kiln Dried Hardwood logs to our UK customer base.
Benefits of Kiln Dried Logs for Stove Owners
The benefits of kiln dried logs are considerable - slower burning, delivering more heat, providing better efficiency, they create less smoke and are more economical than seasoned logs and ideal for stoves and closed wood fuel appliances. Premium Kiln Dried logs are available in either dumpy, approx 1 cubic metre bags and in smaller handy bags and dinky bags too. Logs are ideal for wood burning stoves, multi-fuel stoves, firepits, chimineas, outdoor ovens, BBQ's and open sires too.
