Nowadays, we are all more aware of our impact on the environment. Natural gas is cleaner compared to other conventional fuels – it can reduce your home’s carbon emissions, while helping you to improve your home’s energy rating. Using natural gas as your primary energy source produces less CO2 than electricity (36%), peat (42%), coal (39%), oil (20%) and LPG (10%). The combination of natural gas and solar panels is a practical, efficient way for new houses to achieve even further reductions in emissions.

Switch todayBe part of a cleaner energy future
Today, more than 680,000 Irish homes rely on the gas network to provide safe, reliable, flexible and affordable energy to meet their needs. By gradually replacing natural gas with renewable, carbon neutral and ultimately zero carbon gases, such as biomethane and hydrogen, these same homes and more will be powered by increasingly cleaner energy. Renewable gas, which began flowing on the network in 2019, is the first step on this journey. Produced from agricultural and food waste, this renewable gas can be used through the existing boilers and appliances, meaning customers will be able to play their part in progressing Ireland towards a cleaner energy future, without changing a thing.
