📢 Legitimate fuel retailers are investing in cleaner, low-smoke fuels - But innovation cannot succeed in a market riddled with unregulated and untaxed imports. It’s time for fair enforcement.

02/07/2025

Solid Fuel Merchants Ireland (SFMI) is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Homefire Ireland, a leader in sustainable smokeless fuels and innovation.

Together, we’re working to ensure that affordable, cleaner solid fuel options remain available to homes and businesses across Ireland -especially in rural communities where alternatives are still limited.

🟢 Homefire’s market-leading Ecoal and kiln-dried logs set the standard for low-emission heating
🟢 SFMI continues to advocate for fair, practical regulation and a just transition
🟢 This partnership supports national climate goals while protecting energy security and consumer choice

💬 Colin Ahern, SFMI Chair:
"This partnership is about delivering sustainable fuels without freezing out rural Ireland. It’s a win for households, the environment and local livelihoods."

"Our goal is a 100% sustainable briquette from organic waste. With SFMI, we’re taking another step towards that future."

Great to catch up with Alan Breslin from our partners at Willow Warm this week. We had a valuable discussion on the pressures facing the sector and how Willow Warm’s innovative products can help our members expand their range and meet growing demand for cleaner, compliant solid fuels.

Partnerships like this are key to supporting rural energy resilience and a fair transition.

🚨 Windsor Framework Loophole = Fuel Smuggling Threat 🚨

The “green lane” was meant for trusted trade to NI — not a back door for illegal, high-sulphur coal entering the Republic.

❌ Dodges VAT & carbon tax
❌ Undercuts compliant retailers
❌ Pumps out up to 10x more pollution

💰 €8.7m+ lost annually
🌍 Environmental goals undermined
⚖️ Legal businesses at breaking point

SFMI is calling for:
✅ Tougher border enforcement
✅ Retailer registration with the EPA
✅ Full traceability from mine to market

🛑🚩Illicit fuel trade is a threat to our rural economy. Small, family-run, legitimate retailers across Ireland are being driven out of the market. ➡️❌

It's time for cross-border cooperation to tackle this head-on❗️

On this World Environment Day, we highlight the role that responsible fuel merchants are already playing in protecting Ireland’s environment and public health.

Across the country, legitimate solid fuel retailers are:

✔️ Supplying cleaner, low-sulphur products
✔️ Following strict environmental rules
✔️ Investing in sustainable fuel alternatives
✔️ Keeping homes warm in areas where no other option exists

But this progress is at risk. Illegal fuel sales bypass standards, pollute the air and undercut compliant local businesses.

By choosing a trusted, local retailer, you're supporting cleaner air, fair taxation and a just energy transition for rural Ireland.

Let’s continue heating homes responsibly – and safeguarding our shared environment.

Fuel smuggling could cost the Irish Exchequer €77 million by the end of this year. This robs our health services and retrofit schemes of vital carbon tax funding.

Legitimate merchants pay their share — illegal operators don’t.

🛑 Fuel smuggling from Northern Ireland is undercutting law-abiding retailers across the Republic. It's not just unfair — it's illegal. Every bag of untaxed coal sold is a blow to local jobs, government revenue and the environment. 🚩❌

Solid fuel remains a lifeline for rural homes – one that is evolving and improving. SFMI and our members stand ready to work with Government, environmental stakeholders and regulators to reduce emissions while protecting energy access and economic fairness.

Let’s not freeze out rural Ireland. Let’s warm it responsibly – with regulation, fairness and foresight.

🌫️ The Public Health Cost of Non-Compliance 🌫️

When smoky, non-compliant fuels go unchecked, everyone pays the price — especially our lungs 🫁💨

📉 Weak enforcement = rising air pollution
👶 Children, the elderly, and those with asthma are most at risk
🧑‍⚕️ Air pollution is linked to heart disease, stroke, and respiratory illness

It's time to crack down on illegal fuel sales to protect public health!

🔥Legitimate fuel retailers are being left out in the cold!🔥

We’ve followed the rules — stocked low-smoke fuels as per the law, paid the carbon tax and supported better air quality. 💨✅

But now, high-sulphur, smuggled fuel is flooding the market from the North — no carbon tax, no standards, no enforcement. ❌🛢️

Meanwhile, honest Irish businesses are being undercut and pushed out.

Why are those who follow government policy being punished while illegal trade thrives?

It’s time for action. Fair enforcement and a level playing field.

🇮🇪 Support local jobs. Support legitimate fuel merchants.
