Fuel supplier Certa, which is part of DCC plc, is expanding its operations to make a new lower carbon home heating biofuel available to 100,000 households across Dublin, Kildare and Louth.
The company said the expansion is in response to "exceptional" demand for the new biofuel, known as EcoMax.
"EcoMax comprises a blend of 20% HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), a fossil-free fuel made from waste plant matter, and 80% kerosene," the company explained.
"Householders can use it instead of regular home heating oil directly without any need to replace or modify their boilers," it added.
Certa said this biofuel enables households who currently use liquid fuel boilers to lower their home heating carbon emissions by up to 20%.
"Certa is delighted to expand its operations across counties Dublin, Kildare and Louth and to make it easier for tens of thousands of households in these counties to transition to this new hybrid home heating solution and to reduce their carbon footprint," said Orla Stevens, Managing Director, Certa Ireland.
