Fire logs vs. Natural Gas
- Although gas fireplaces are often touted as the cleanest burning alternative to firewood due to their low fine particulate emissions, 99% of their combustion emissions ARE greenhouse gases from non-renewable fossil fuel.
- Independent studies show that duraflame fire logs made from renewable resources produce over 70% less greenhouse gas emissions than burning equivalent duration fires with natural gas logs in a traditional vented fireplace.
