Our goal is clear: the members of Fuels for Ireland are going to take every step necessary to make not only our industry, but also Ireland, carbon neutral by 2050.
Powering Ireland’s Road Transport - Fuels for Ireland is determined to continue powering Ireland’s road transport, but we know that changing the way we do this will be crucial to reducing the environmental impact of the transport sector.
Powering Ireland’s homes – Over 700,000 Irish homes are heated using oil, according to CSO. Fuelling Irish homes while reducing our emissions will be a challenging process, but we have created a clear and well-defined pathway to a sustainable future in this area.
Powering Ireland’s economy - As our economy grows and our agri-food sector continues its outstanding performance, both industry and agriculture will need the fuels which our members provide.
Powering aviation - As an island economy containing key international airports connecting us to countries all across the world, the aviation sector is absolutely crucial to Ireland’s present and future economic prosperity and social well-being. Along with our colleagues in FuelsEurope, Fuels for Ireland believes that low carbon liquid fuels such as this could be used to reduce 50% of CO2 emissions in aviation by 2050.
Powering maritime - Irish ports handled more than 55 million tonnes of goods in 2018, goods transported on ships travelling to and from all corners of the world. The rise of alternative shipping fuels has meant that biofuels and methanol are now available in some sectors, while there are now 300 ships in operation or on order which are fuelled using liquified natural gas (LNG).**
