On 18th July, the Irish government announced the introduction of the Renewable Heat Obligation Scheme (RHO). It will be launched in 2026 and remain in place until 2045. The announcement is a significant step forward in efforts to secure the use of renewable liquid fuels in heating and comes at a time when all indicators suggest Ireland is failing to meet the carbon reduction targets set out in its Climate Action Plan.

During our General Assembly in Dijon in June 2025, Eurofuel members had the unique opportunity to visit the Suntec Industries factory, a key player in Europe’s fuel pump technology for both residential and industrial heating.
