Certa’s renewable hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) will be used at the championships, taking place in Screggan, Tullamore, Co. Offaly on September 16, 17 and 18. Certa will supply the event fuel requirements for the three days, including fuelling all the generators for powering the site, and the lighting towers.
Speaking ahead of the event, NPA managing director, Anna May McHugh, said: “It is fantastic to have their support again, particularly with the use of HVO, a sustainable diesel that aligns with our commitment to greener practices.”
Certa managing director, Orla Stevens said: “With its blend of tradition, skill, innovation and community, the National Ploughing Championship is a celebration of Ireland’s rural heart. We at Certa are proud to support the event once again this year. As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we’re helping to reduce its carbon footprint through the use of HVO. This renewable fuel helps to cut carbon emissions by up to 90 per cent.”
Throughout the event, Certa will also be showcasing a range of energy solutions for customers, including solar, HVO, lubricants, and other liquid fuels.
