Carrying the Guaranteed Irish, Wood Fuel Quality Assurance and Woodsure certifications, WillowWarm briquettes are made from a blend of completely renewable, Irish-grown willow and forest pulp wood, with zero additives, artificial ignition ingredients or binders included. With a low moisture content, WillowWarm produces more heat than traditional firewood logs, while a low ash content - less than 3% - means less mess to clean up afterwards, with no need to clean the fire grate every time!  Suitable for everyday use in all open fires, stoves and chimineas, WillowWarm is available in more than 1,500 outlets throughout Ireland, including Circle K, Applegreen, Dunnes Stores, Lidl and Woodie’s.

Why choose WillowWarm?

A willow crop has a lifespan of approximately 36 years and does not need to be re-ploughed, re-planted, or re-seeded on an annual basis like many other crops so is a sustainable use of land. When willow and forest pulp wood is converted into an energy source in the form of briquettes, it releases the same amount of CO2 that it has absorbed while growing, creating a continuous cycle and offsetting any carbon production in the manufacturing and usage stages. As a carbon-neutral product, there is no carbon tax for the customer.

With the cessation of peat harvesting in 2021 and both the economic and environmental pitfalls of importing fossil fuels, WillowWarm is leading the way in Ireland’s transition to renewable heat by introducing this indigenous, carbon-neutral product to the Irish market. By choosing WillowWarm for your home, customers are a part of a pioneering Irish company’s vision to help Ireland become a truly carbon-neutral society.

WillowWarm brand ambassador Dermot Bannon: “When I am renovating and retrofitting a house the focus is on insulating, making the home as warm and cosy as possible, but also as economic as possible to run. I try to move homeowners to renewable heat sources eliminating their reliance on fossil fuels so I am delighted that WillowWarm is an Irish, fast growing, renewable, carbon-neutral product that can be used on a daily basis. I look forward to visiting four homes around Ireland to offer my advice with WillowWarm. I can’t wait to help our winners to reimagine your home and put sustainable ideas into practice.”
