Smoke Signals host and HETAS CEO Barry Cope welcomes HETAS Head of Technical Calvin May to the podcast to discuss the recently published Defra solid fuel burning consultation. This episode discusses some of the key elements of the consultation, namely:

• Stricter emission limits for new stoves – introducing tougher smoke emission standards for new appliances placed on the market. 

• Mandatory labelling for stoves and fuels – providing clear information on emissions, permitted fuels, and health impacts to help consumers make informed choices. 

• Increased enforcement penalties – raising penalties for suppliers who breach fuel standards to ensure compliance.
