Decarbonisation remains a significant challenge for Irish manufacturing companies that rely on high temperatures for their operations, yet Kingscourt Brick (part of the Breedon Group plc) is proving what’s possible. ​ ​With the support of our Customer Solutions team and Flogas Ireland, Kingscourt Brick are setting a powerful example of innovation and sustainability by piloting the use of renewable biomethane to manufacture Ireland’s first low carbon clay brick - the BioBrick.​ ​ Biomethane, a renewable gas produced from organic waste, can be delivered through Ireland’s existing gas network and used without requiring changes to equipment or operations. This makes it a powerful option for businesses and sectors that want to decarbonise their thermal processes efficiently. ​ ​ Kingscourt Brick’s biomethane pilot shows how this renewable gas can unlock real progress in areas long considered difficult to decarbonise—while enabling product innovation that benefits the wider construction supply chain. ​ ​ The BioBrick is an exciting example of what’s possible when industry and energy infrastructure work hand‑in‑hand to progress Ireland’s renewable gas future.​ ​ Learn more at https://lnkd.in/dXqW7WcD​ ​ #MovingIrelandsEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Biomethane #Sustainability​
