Irish Cutaway Bogs. Freshly cut sods of turf waiting to dry on wooden pallets in Connemara, Ireland. Sphagnum moss releases compounds that preserve human tissue, and as the moss decays, it becomes peat which can be burned as a domestic fuel. Bogs are natural carbon storage sites. However they are not a reliable source of fuel since their renewal rate is one millimeter a year .
