Coghlan’s Artisan Bakery is an award-winning supplier of bread and pastries to some of Ireland's and the UK's top chefs and supermarkets. As a member of Bord Bia’s origin green sustainability programme they decided to replace their fossil fuel boiler with a biomass boiler which they would use locally produced wood pellets to provide heat to their baking ovens.
Beckman Coulter is an American medical device manufacturer located in the Mid-West of Ireland. During the recent expansion of their facility, they employed a local company ‘Enerpower’ to install a 550kw multi-fuel wood boiler capable of running on both wood chip and wood pellet which would provide heating to the new 6,700 square meter building.
Panton Brothers conversion to biomass heating has to date yielded a 30% decrease in heating costs, this saving combined with 20 years of RHI payments makes it an extremely cost effective long term investment.
Arramara Teo is Ireland’s largest processer of seaweed and has been in operation since 1947. The seaweed is harvested to produce soil fertilizer, animal feed, and alginate used in the food processing industry. Arramara have been able to make huge savings on their old coal-fired system and massively reduce their carbon footprint which was important given their position on the scenic West Coast of Ireland.
