Cutting air pollution

The Environment Secretary has announced that we will phase out sales of the most polluting fuels for household fires, helping to improve air quality and leaving our environment in a better condition for future generations.

  • Wood burning stoves and coal fires are some of the biggest emitters of harmful pollutants in this country, damaging to both people’s health and the environment.
     
  • We want to move towards using cleaner fuels, which is why we will phase out the sale of traditional house coal and wet wood in England between 2021 and 2023, giving the public and suppliers time to move to cleaner alternatives.
     
  • This is the latest step in our world-leading Clean Air Strategy, as we work to clean up the air, improving people’s health, cutting household bills and leaving our environment in a better condition.
