DECARBONISING OUR HERITAGE SECTOR

The National Steam Rally in Stradbally is a celebration of Ireland’s rich steam
engine heritage. This event attracts steam enthusiasts from all over the world,
who come to marvel at the impressive displays of vintage machinery, steam
engines, vehicles and enjoy a huge variety of amazing events and activities. The
rally is held annually, and this year, it is particularly special because it is
powered by carbon neutral biofuel.

The use of this carbon tax free coal alternative at the National Steam Rally is
a testament to our commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting
sustainable energy practices. The biofuel used at the rally is supplied by
Arigna Fuels , and is produced using sustainable methods, which minimises the
impact on the environment. By using carbon tax free fuel, the National Steam
Rally is setting an example for other events and industries, demonstrating that
it is possible to enjoy our rich heritage while also protecting the planet for
future generations.

In addition to the impressive displays of steam and vintage machinery, visitors
can also enjoy a range of family-friendly activities, including live music,
dancing, food & trade stalls, a funfair, displays and demonstrations and so much
more. The National Steam Rally is a must-visit event for anyone interested in
Ireland’s industrial heritage, and this year, it is an event that is sure to
leave a lasting impression on visitors.
