As a trade association, UK and Ireland Fuel Distributors Association (UKIFDA) engages with every part of the supply chain. Our membership base ranges from the small family business, which forms the greater part, to companies with national coverage. Deliveries go to domestic customers, agricultural, marine, industrial and commercial sites for power, heating and transport fuel and some members also operate retail forecourts. With over 125 distributor members and over 60 Associate members owning some 3000 tankers, UKIFDA represents at least 80% of the non-retail volume distributed to end users in the UK and Ireland. UKIFDA also represents the industry to Governments in the UK and Ireland and to the European Commission. It is lobbying for the retention of oil heating including hybrid systems and those that use bio-liquids which are the ‘green’ alternative fuels for the future. Approximately 1.5 million households in the UK and 686,000 in the Republic of Ireland use oil for heating. It is estimated that at least 250,000 commercial oil boilers are installed in UK premises such as schools, warehouses and hospitals in off mains gas areas. Our role is to keep our members informed of new developments and changes in that market. Visit www.ukifda.org for more information.

UK and Ireland Fuel Distributors Association (UKIFDA) is supporting The Alliance for Zero Carbon Heating (TAZCH)'s call for a 20% Renewable Heat Obligation (RHO). Ken Cronin, Chief Executive of UKIFDA, commented, "It is clear from the survey that consumers want lower-carbon solutions that are affordable and practical. The heating oil industry is well-placed to meet this demand. Transitioning to renewable liquid heating fuels presents an immediate, cost-effective solution to decarbonise Ireland's heating sector. By embracing a blended approach, we can significantly reduce emissions and achieve our decarbonisation goals."
A new survey has revealed a significant hurdle in Ireland's journey towards decarbonisation. Over two-thirds of Irish households, rising to 75% in rural areas, have no plans to install a heat pump, primarily due to high costs and concerns about disruption 💰 The survey, featured in the Business Post, also highlights a growing demand for alternative, lower-cost solutions like sustainable fuels. In fact, 70% of respondents support the increased use of advanced, synthetic, and biofuels to reduce emissions without switching to heat pumps 📢 The Government's target to install 400,000 heat pumps by 2030 is in severe doubt, with fewer than 20,000 (<5% of the target) installed as of April this year. TAZCH is calling for an ambitious 20% Renewable Heat Obligation (RHO) to support the use of renewable liquid heating fuels, which can achieve a reduction in emissions comparable to deep retrofitting and installing heat pumps in 160,000 homes without changes to current infrastructure 🏡 It is time to take a blended approach to decarbonising Ireland 🌍 #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #HeatPumps #Biofuels #ClimateAction
