Offaly win at SEAI Energy Show

The awards keep on coming for Offaly company Grant Engineering, whose latest accolade is from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI).

Over 2,500 people attended the recent SEAI Energy Show in the RDS on March 30th and 31st after a two-year absence. The event showed the vibrancy of the energy sector and the pace of innovation, as new energy saving technologies were revealed over the two-day event.

Central to this innovation was Grant Engineering from Birr which won the ‘Best Renewable Product Award’ for HVO Biofuel Grant Vortex, an innovative, A-rated biofuel-compatible condensing boiler.

Paul Martin, Programme Manager at SEAI who chaired the judging panel commented: “I want to congratulate this year’s winners of the Best Renewable Product Award. The Government has set ambitious targets over the next ten years and beyond to reduce energy use in our homes and our dependence on fossil fuels and the product and expertise that Grant Engineering provide are an important facet of that transition.

"For many years, the Product of the Show Awards has championed innovative product development. Considerable investment in R&D, coupled with rapidly changing technology, has seen a wave of pioneering products and systems featured at the Show. The winners all share a passion for a clean energy future and are providing businesses and consumers with exciting new energy products that will help us use less and use clean,” he said.
