Although it is tempting to think that both methods contribute to an increase in so-called greenhouse gases, they are based on the idea of being "carbon neutral". This is because they efficiently obtain energy directly from within the biosphere, rather than from fossil fuels, thus closing the carbon cycle and not leading to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions. This is based on the idea of "carbon neutrality", which does not lead to an increase in CO.

Firewood is wood that has been cut from logs into manageable sizes and dried to increase combustion efficiency. Wood chips are shredded wood offcuts from the forestry, manufacturing, and construction industries, and are easier to transport than firewood. Wood pellets are made from wood chips, sawdust, etc., which are formed into small pieces and processed for easy combustion. The price varies depending on the number of man-hours involved in the processing. The design of the equipment is determined by the fuel to be procured and the amount of steam and heat to be generated.

Wood biomass boilers are said to have lower fuel costs than fossil fuel boilers. Fuel can be procured from forestry, manufacturing (wood processing), construction (mainly general house construction), and industrial waste disposal industries. To maintain the low fuel cost, a cooperative effort from many sectors of the public and private sectors is necessary in order to seek a stable supply of both mass and fuel.
