Morsø and the environment
Morsø fireplaces are environmentally friendly, reducing CO2 and particle emissions to the environment. For a number of years, Morsø has made efforts to ensure that our fireplaces are environmentally sound. Therefore most Morsø fireplaces meet the requirements of the Swan eco-label which specifies max. 5 g of particles per kg of fuel.

DS-approved fireplaces
All Morsø fireplaces are DS-approved, and together with a number of other fireplace manufacturers Morsø has laid down stricter requirements with a view to reducing emissions. Together with a number of Danish manufacturers of wood-burning fireplaces and the Danish Ministry of the Environment, we have formulated guidelines for limiting particle emissions.

Facts about particles and wood-burning fireplaces
Studies by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency have shown that “wood-burning fireplaces only account for a very small part of the background pollution”. On evenings in a residential neighbourhood when there is little or no wind, increased amounts of particles will be detectable in the air. But overall, the amount of particle emissions from wood-burning fireplaces is insignificant compared to, e.g., the amount of air-borne particles from neighbouring countries.
