Bowen Group involved in energy move

Construction company, Bowen Group, has teamed up with another company to drive forward Ireland’s requirements to replace fossil fuels with clean and sustainable sources of energy.

Joe O’Carroll, MD of newly formed Imperative Energy, said the aim was to install up to 135mw of biomass fuelled heat from local forestry sources, which will displace the equivalent of 50 million litres or about 25m of imported oil, with a corresponding reduction of 200,000 tonnes in carbon emissions
