Morso Leads Wood Stove Design in Contemporary Green Living Style

Dec. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Danish wood stove manufacturer Morso has been at the cutting-edge of modern woodstove design for over 157 years. Its reputation for high-efficiency, contemporary designed cast-iron stoves is world class, as is its “organic” eco-friendly core that continues to handcraft high-quality cast iron products using 98% recycled material, surpasses strict environmental standards, while advocating new ways to improve efficiencies with conservation-driven actions.

Craig Shankster, President of Morso USA describes a few ways that Morso is minimizing their impact on the environment:  “At the Morso production facility 80 % of the energy consumed comes from renewable sources (69% wind & 11% bio gas) and the Morso US headquarters in Portland, Tennessee is now powered by 100% renewable energy, also our high-quality cast iron products are hand crafted using 98% recycled material.”

Morso has a large selection of compact, modern styled, cast-iron wood stoves. No matter the size of the room or design preference, Morso has a high-quality energy efficient wood stove to meet zone heating needs.

All Morso stoves achieve high fuel efficiency through advanced wood combustion techniques. Our stoves meet; even surpass the strictest environmental standards in the world, including EPA and Norwegian Standard NS 3058/3059 for the lowest particulate emissions

Morso’s dedication to a cleaner environment was recognized in 2007 when 21 stoves- almost the entire Morso product line in Europe- was awarded the Nordic Swan Eco-label. Introduced by the Nordic Council of Ministers this public environmental certification required low particle emissions and high efficiency, and recognizes companies that are actively reducing their ‘environmental footprint’ in terms of production practices and packaging. In short, having the Nordic Swan Eco-label shows Morso’s continued commitment for a cleaner, greener planet.

In many homes, wood may be the ideal heating alternative as it is a plentiful, renewable, non-fossil natural product and when used as fuel it is in effect ‘carbon-neutral’ meaning that the CO2 released when burning is being absorbed by the tree that has been replanted; in fact the same level of CO2 would have been emitted by a tree that had been left to rot naturally on the forest floor. When the use of sustainably-harvested, properly processed and seasoned wood for energy displaces the use of fossil fuels, the result is a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

“All Morso wood stoves have an advanced combustion system that when used as directed is among the most environmentally-sound heating solutions”, notes Shankster.
