The proposed new solid fuel regulations which were agreed by Government outline the technical requirements that all solid fuels must conform to when used for the purposes of combustion for heating (space or water) in a fireplace in a domestic or a licensed premises.
Subject to a market assessment, the draft regulations provide that from 1 September 2025, the sulphur content for coal products and manufactured solid fuels, including manufactured part biomass products will be reduced to 1% by weight on a dry ash-free basis.
