The benefits of Smokeless Fuel

With the national ban on burning bituminous coal in residential properties, smokeless fuel has become the ideal replacement to fulfill all your home heating needs.

Minimal smoke emission

Designed to emit minimal visible smoke . In contrast, bituminous coal (house coal) produces a substantial amount of smoke and particulates when burned.

>40% less CO2 produced

Smokeless fuels generally emit 20-40% less CO2 compared to traditional house coal, which is known for its high CO2 emissions.

<2% Sulphur content

Smokeless fuels have lower sulfur content, resulting in reduced SO2 emissions. Bituminous coal contains higher sulfur levels, leading to significant SO2 emissions, which contributes to acid rain.

Lower particulate matter

Smokeless fuels are designed to emit minimal visible smoke and particulate matter. In contrast, bituminous coal produces a substantial amount of smoke and particulates when burned.

Greater Efficiency

Smokeless fuels often burn more efficiently, producing more heat and leaving less ash compared to bituminous coal. They are engineered to be an excellent fuel for domestic home heating.

Anthracite (Welsh, High-Grade Anthracite)

Welsh Anthracite Smokeless Fuel

Our Welsh Anthracite is high-grade anthracite (HGA), excavated from the Aberpergwm coal mine in South Wales, which has wide domestic and industrial use due to its high carbon content and calorific value. Although directly mined from the Earth, Anthracite is naturally smokeless and therefore can be legally burned domestically in England. Welsh Anthracite is considered to be the best quality Anthracite in the World.

Anthracite is a unique, naturally formed fuel that burns cleanly, has low emissions and a low sulphur content. It's natural smokeless properties mean it doesn’t need to be certified by HETAS as Ready To Burn as other manufactured fuels do.

Anthracite has extensive burn times and produces high levels of heat. It is an ideal fuel for solid fuel boilers, cookers and other closed appliances.

We sell our anthracite in 3 variations; Large Nuts, Small Nuts and Grains.

Each fuel size can be purchased in 25kg prepacked bags or delivered loose in 50kg open sacks to fill your coal bunker or coal shed.
