As environmentally attractive as this is, we still want to do even better. As a company, we adopt best practice industry solutions, encouraging our suppliers to do likewise. We have a sustainability programme with the primary objective of reducing the carbon emissions of our company by 25% by 2020. Under this programme, we have introduced a digital logistics system which greatly reduces the mileage travelled by our delivery trucks each year. This is the first of many new initiatives we are planning as part of our sustainability programme to reduce our carbon emissions. We consistently review our operations to become more environmentally friendly. For Northern Ireland figures on CO2 emissions, please visit our website. Details are provided at the back of the brochure.
As the leading distributor of LPG in Ireland, Calor Gas can also offer the reassuring security of a fuel supply which doesn’t have to rely on Middle Eastern or Russian imports; 25% of our LPG is sourced from our Whitegate Refinery in Co. Cork, with the remainder sourced within Europe. We also operate two cylinder filling plants located at Belfast and Cork, ensuring a secure, local supply of cylinders to service your customers’ needs.

Calor cylinders - The versatile energy solution If customers wish to use more than one LPG appliance, the ideal solution is Calor Twin Pack Cylinders, complete with an automatic changeover device. • Two 11kg/34kg/47kg propane cylinders are located outside a customer’s home and piped into their appliances by a Recommended Gas Installer.* • The cylinders are connected to an automatic changeover device, ensuring that customers need not worry about running out of gas. • When the gas in the first cylinder is empty, the changeover device automatically switches the second cylinder into use. • Meanwhile, an indicator shows customers which cylinder is empty, giving plenty of time to re-order. * Only persons who have successfully completed the appropriate gas installer courses may carry out work on gas installations. Unfortunately, Calor cannot be held responsible for the quality or warranty of any gas appliance installation. The contract for this work is between the installer and the customer.
