Peat: The Forgotten Fossil Fuel

This is called milled peat.) Wet bricks of raw peat are pressed to force out water. The bricks are then dried further, using heat or pressure. The bricks are then used as fuel, mostly for heating homes and businesses. Northern Europe, particularly Scandinavia and the British Isles, have the most peatlands harvested for fuel use.Web
