  • Mass heaters are fairly carbon neutral because the fuel is grown from trees before it is used. According to the Spring, 2008 issue of Permaculture Magazine, a 1,300 foot hedgerow of trees cut in a four year rotation will provide a family fuel in perpetuity. So, the fuel is building up a nice carbon offset before it is used. These are the reasons my wife and I chose to install a Tulikivi mass heater in our home as a cornerstone of our eventual goal of getting our house off the grid.
