Sustainable Living Stage Sponsor
The Sustainable Living Stage sponsor, Certa Ireland, highlights how visitors can reduce diesel carbon emissions by switching to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) low-carbon biofuel. Certa offers HVO at pumps in Liffey Valley, Dublin; Lee Tunnel, Cork; and Trim, County Meath and will introduce seven more sites around Dublin and the Midlands this year. A replacement for diesel with no modifications required, it is made from renewable food and plant waste matter that reduces your vehicles carbon emissions by up to 90%. Certa is also showcasing residential solar products that can help your home generate renewable electricity all year round.
