The 2025 National Ploughing Championships will be powered by renewable hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO).
The National Ploughing Association (NPA) has confirmed that Certa will serve as the official fuel sponsor for this year’s championships, taking place in Screggan, Tullamore, Co Offaly, from 16 to 18 September.
Certa will supply the event fuel requirements for the three days, including fuelling all the generators for powering the site and the lighting towers from the main site.
Speaking ahead of the event, NPA managing director Anna May McHugh said: “We’re delighted to welcome Certa back as our official fuel partner for Ploughing 2025. It’s fantastic to have their support again, particularly with the use of HVO, a sustainable diesel that aligns with our commitment to greener practices.”
Emissions
Meanwhile, Certa managing director Orla Stevens said the renewable fuel will help to cut carbon emissions by up to 90%.
“As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we’re helping to reduce its carbon footprint through the use of HVO,” she said.
“With its blend of tradition, skill, innovation and community, the National Ploughing Championships is a celebration of Ireland’s rural heart.”
