A Cleaner Way to Power Your Home
Homeowners across Ireland are rethinking how they heat their homes — and for good reason. With energy prices rising, climate concerns growing, and rural homes still left out of the gas grid, the pressure is on to find smarter, cleaner alternatives.
Enter BioLPG — a renewable gas that delivers the same warmth, performance, and reliability as LPG, but with up to 90% fewer carbon emissions. And no one is better placed to deliver this green solution than Calor Ireland BioLPG.
Whether you’re living in a countryside cottage, building a new A-rated home, or upgrading an old heating system, Calor BioLPG offers a cleaner path forward — without sacrificing comfort.
What Is BioLPG?
BioLPG, short for biopropane, is a renewable form of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). It’s produced from sustainably sourced organic materials like:
- Waste fats and oils
- Renewable plant and vegetable residues
- Animal fats (approved waste)
From a performance perspective, BioLPG is identical to conventional LPG. It can be used in:
- Central heating systems
- Gas cookers and hobs
- Water heaters
- Fires and stoves
The key difference? It dramatically reduces greenhouse gas emissions, making it a true low-carbon alternative for rural homes.
Why Irish Homeowners Are Choosing BioLPG
✅ Carbon Reduction without Compromise
The typical Irish home switching from oil to BioLPG can reduce carbon emissions by up to 3 tonnes per year. That’s a significant environmental impact — without giving up on hot showers, home heating or home-cooked meals.
✅ Seamless Switch
Already using LPG? No need to change boilers, cookers, or tanks. BioLPG is a drop-in solution, which means existing LPG systems can run on BioLPG with zero retrofitting.
✅ Perfect for Off-Grid Homes
Over 700,000 homes in Ireland aren’t connected to the national gas grid. Calor BioLPG provides these households with a clean, efficient, and cost-effective fuel option.
