I double dare you to go and drink what comes out of the condensate pipe into the drain (Please don't you will likely die), and while it maybe very efficient it still gives off exactly the same amount od CO2 as burning that volume of gas would in any other manner, not to mention the environmental impact of the supply chain and the hideous short life of modern boilers.
Which is of course absolute rubbish, the air quality in the industrial era was rubish becuase of industry in the main part! Modern wood burning stoves and the fuel we use are nothing like the terrible low quality coal that most people were burning 100 years ago and even if it were people tend to have one fire in the house to supplement central heating at the turn of the century the average terraced house had 5 fire places in use every day during the winter as the only source of heat and cooking.
Interestingly the majority of the countries big cities are still smokeless zones so technically the burning of wood unless in a certified stove is illegal allthough I don't know anyone who has been done for breach of the smokless regs.
