Firebird proves a leader with another exciting step in reducing CO2 emissions from source to supply for its customers In the wake of the UNʼs damning report on climate change which flagged the starkest warnings yet about the state of the planet and the damage caused by human activity, Firebird, Irelandʼs market leading manufacturer of commercial and domestic boilers, has revealed another ground-breaking step taken to realise its zero net ambitions. Long before the UNʼs recent report which warned that the opportunity for humans to take action to reverse or even slow the process of global warming was closing, Firebird has been ambitiously leading the charge in renewable innovation to combat our climate woes. Following its successful trials in homes in Ireland, Firebird has championed the switch to eco-friendly HVO as a drop-in replacement for kerosene and other fossil fuels in domestic boilers which could go a long way towards saving the planet and helping Ireland reach its 2030 Climate Action plan goals. Firebird passionately believes that we all have a part to play to reduce carbon emissions and has also now seized the chance to offer customers the benefit of an even greener supply chain by partnering with an installer who has become the first business owner in the UK to fuel his work van with HVO. The partnership is an ideal fit for Firebird which is the first to engineer future-proofed commercial and domestic boilers that are fossil fuel free and ready for the switch to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO). Firebirdʼs three manufacturing sites in Ireland, Northern Ireland and England are already fuelled by HVO. Partnering with Alan Marcon from York who is putting HVO into practice through his transportation is another link in the chain and way in which Firebird can support its customers to make more environmentally-driven decisions. HVO is an advanced fossil-free fuel derived from 100% renewable waste streams. As a drop-in replacement to diesel with 90% less emissions, the use of HVO has been rapidly gaining popularity across the UK and Europe with many regarding it as a ʻno brainerʼ for transport and heating applications.
