As winter settles over Galway and stoves across the county spark back to life, one local company is marking a milestone that speaks to the rhythm of the season itself.
ECOFUEL™, a home-grown Galway business, celebrates its eleventh year this month with a journey built not by chance, but by the steady work of a small, committed team.
The company’s story began in 2014 in an empty warehouse in Ballybane. No office. No racking. No systems. Just two lads, a forklift, and the belief that home heating could be cleaner, fairer, and more thoughtfully made.
Those early winters were tough, and the quiet summers were even tougher. But the team learned the lesson that still defines ECOFUEL™ today: nothing meaningful is built alone.
Over the past eleven years, the business has grown slowly and deliberately, remaining rooted in Galway. Today, ECOFUEL™ supports households nationwide, supplying sustainable fuel for stoves, ovens, and commercial kitchens, all while staying rooted in the values formed in that first warehouse.
The team now operates from Galway and Dublin, upholding strict sourcing standards, FSC® certification, and a continued commitment to reducing single-use plastics across their product lines.
What hasn’t changed is the heart of the company: the people who show up in every season, through the busiest storms and the quietest stretches, to make sure homes around Ireland stay warm. And as Christmas approaches, the timing is fitting.
A lit stove has always meant more than heat; it’s where families gather, where stories are shared, and where winter evenings slow down just enough to remember what matters.
After eleven years of Galway winters and countless Irish homes warmed, ECOFUEL™ remains focused on exactly that, the fuel that feels good to use, and a team proud to stand behind it.
The team recommends discovering ECOFUEL™ by starting with the mixed bundle.
