AS A MEMBER OF LIQUID GAS IRELAND, CALOR’S BIOLPG AND LPG OFFERS CUSTOMERS VIABLE ALTERNATIVE FUEL SOURCES… Calor supports launch of LiquidGas Ireland
L iquid Gas Ireland was launched in September, bringing a new voice to the energy debate. The body, formerly known as ILPGA will represent the LPG industry in Ireland and will particularly be a voice for rural Ireland. Calor, one of Ireland’s longest established energy suppliers, is proud to be a member of Liquid Gas Ireland. To mark the new era of the representative body, Liquid Gas Ireland launched Vision 2040 – “LPG and BioLPG – a Greener Deal for Rural Ireland” which sets out how the LPG industry will contribute to the Green New Deal.

Liquid Gas Ireland estimates that if 500,000 homes switched from using oil- fired central heating to BioLPG by 2040, it would save about 1.9million tonnes of CO2 per year. Switching from oil to Calor LPG can improve heating efficiency by up to 20%, and helps to reduce carbon emissions. BioLPG, Calor’s renewable gas option, can reduce emissions by up to a further 90%. BioLPG is a cost-effective way to significantly decarbonise a home, avoiding the need for costly and disruptive deep retrofitting. As a member of Liquid Gas Ireland, Calor will support the recommendations by offering customers alternative fuel sources such as BioLPG and LPG. Calor is also investing in this association to ensure that all those who work in supplying LPG have a say in the energy debate. We would strongly encourage heating professionals to get involved in that debate. Calor along with other members of Liquid Gas Ireland will work with the Government and other stakeholders to ensure the move to a more sustainable energy system is a fair one for everyone.
