Whether it’s how we can use energy better, or how we can recycle it, we are constantly monitoring our energy usage and trying to reduce it.

At Arigna Fuels we are fully appreciative of the Environment around us. We have taken the lead in manufacturing clean long lasting solid fuels. We are always trying to find ways to reduce Energy Consumption and new ways to create energy in the best way to help the Environment.

High Standards within Arigna Fuels manufacturing facility making Ireland’s most popular smokeless fuels have helped us to achieve one of our long term goals in attaining the new Energy Standard.

The company has recently achieved ISO Energy Standard EN 16001:2009 becoming the first Irish Solid Fuel company to attain this high Energy standard.

To celebrate the achievement and in keeping with our focus on Energy we gave a gift to all of our 55 staff of an Effergy Energy Meter so they can see how much energy is used in the home as well as in the workplace we also gave them some literature about saving energy from our friends in SEI.

The Spion Kop Windfarm was commissioned in 1998, and was supported by the Thermie programme, a programme operated by the European Commission to support the demonstration of innovative energy technology. This wind farm is located on Corry mountain, on the Leitrim Roscommon border, on a plateau of 400m above sea level. It is located in the site of the old opencast mine, and so continuing the energy production from the Arigna valley.
