Yeah. A little bit for sure.
Numbers: One kilo of wood delivers about one heat kWh into your house. This produces 1.8 kg of CO2. (sounds crazy, but it is ;-))
Producing one heat kWh via the heat pump emits 0.14 kg of CO2. With genuine green electricity or photovoltaic power from the roof, that’s about a factor of 10 less again.
So wood versus heat pump is somewhere between 10:1 and 100:1.
In other words: This "Just a little cozy heat on the weekend!" doubles the CO2 emissions of your heating system.
