Solid Fuel regulations

New national solid fuel regulations came into effect on the 31st October 2022. Through these changes the most polluting solid fuels will be taken off the market, thereby protecting public health and the environment.

The regulations apply to all sales of solid fuels for use in domestic and licenced premises throughout the State and cover retail sales, on-line and other media sales, door-to-door sales etc.

Under the new regulations, only "Approved Solid Fuels" will now be available for purchase in the State and these fuels must meet specified emissions criteria.

Details of the updated regulations are available here on the gov.ie website.
