=== Fuel === [[File:Feu de tourbe.JPG|thumb|Peat fire]]Peat can be used as fuel once dried. Traditionally, peat is cut by hand and left to dry in the sun. In many countries, including [[Ireland]] and [[Scotland]], peat was traditionally stacked to dry in rural areas and used for cooking and domestic heating. This tradition can be traced back to the Roman period.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Culture & history {{!}} IUCN UK Peatland Programme |url=https://www.iucn-uk-peatlandprogramme.org/about-peatlands/peatland-benefits/culture-history |access-date=2023-10-08 |website=IUCN Peatland Programme |language=en}}</ref> For industrial uses,{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}} companies may use pressure to extract water from the peat, which is soft and easily compressed.
