technologies that offer a low carbon and sustainable home heating solution for homeowners throughout Ireland going forward into the future.” Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is an advanced renewable diesel biofuel derived from 100% renewable waste fats and vegetable oil. While it is a relatively new fuel to Ireland, in Europe and the UK it is used for Marine and Public Transport and to power generators. HVO currently available in the UK and Ireland, is manufactured from 100% renewable and sustainable waste derived raw materials and certified via the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) scheme. Niall Fay, director of Grant said, “Using 100% HVO for heating will help meet Ireland’s carbon emissions target and result in circa 87% immediate carbon reduction and using this or a percentage blend of HVO with kerosene, will enable rural and hard to heat Irish homes to transition to a renewable green alternative from 100% kerosene at an affordable cost and minimum disruption to their home lives. In terms of renewable heating, using 100% HVO could provide a more sustainable way to heat existing homes
than a heat pump.” Grant is a member of OFTEC, the trade association for the liquid fuel heating sector and David Blevings, their Ireland manager said, “This is a very positive step and reinforces our belief that biofuels have a key role to play in in reducing emissions in the home heat sector. We have continually advised Government that the introduction of a biofuel as a replacement for kerosene is a viable option and should be part of Ireland’s future energy mix.” Grant’s portfolio of heating technologies currently includes HVO biofuel compatible condensing boilers, air to water, air source heat pumps, condensing wood pellet boilers, solar thermal panels, underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and aluminium radiators.
innovative heating technologies and their commitment to reducing carbon emissions, this award is the leading home heating solutions company’s first major recognition for its HVO biofuel compatible Grant Vortex boiler. The product was developed following an investment of over €250,000 in R&D which aimed to help existing rural and hard to heat homes reduce carbon emissions and helping to prevent homeowners from incurring the high cost and subsequent disruption to daily life of deep retrofitting. Founder, Stephen Grant said: “We are delighted that our HVO biofuel compatible Grant Vortex boiler received Best Renewable Energy Product of the Show at the SEAI Energy Awards. Our breakthrough in the research and development of HVO-ready condensing boilers has led the way for us to transform largely into a renewable heating company and we continue to lead the industry in designing and manufacturing heating
