Arigna Group have seen a real shift in recent years. More of their customers are choosing products that perform well and also reflect their growing commitment to sustainability. It’s something they’re proud to support, and it’s why their renewable heating product, Harvest Flame, has become such a popular choice in homes across Ireland. Made from biochar and offering warmth, reliability and peace of mind, it’s proof that heating can be both sustainable and efficient.
Arigna Group’s journey doesn’t stop there. Alongside renewable fuels, they’re also exploring the exciting other uses of biochar, a renewable biomass product and a carbon-rich material with a remarkable range of purposes. Their aim is to understand how biochar can contribute to greener, more resilient systems in agriculture, construction and beyond.
Here in Ireland, the company are working closely with Meade Farm, www.meadefarm.ie, on trials investigating how biochar can improve soil health and crop performance. In another project, they’ve just recently supplied 25 tonnes of biochar for use in structured soil on a new housing development. This marks an important step in exploring how biochar can assist with providing a solid structural foundation and provides trees and vegetation with access to nutrient rich soil in urban environments. This is also a simple but effective way construction companies can easily reduce their carbon footprint.
Arigna Group’s collaborations also extend further afield. They’ve recently partnered with The Ohio State University (OSU) in The United States, where researcher Ed Nangle is leading a new project examining biochar in turfgrass systems, from sod farms to golf putting greens. The focus is on understanding how biochar can influence turf quality and harvesting timelines. Trials began in June 2025, and Arigna Group are looking forward to seeing the full results in December 2025.
Closer to home again, Arigna Group are also taking part in anaerobic digestion trials across Ireland. These trials are investigating how biochar could enhance the efficiency and environmental performance of biogas production. This is another area with strong potential for sustainable energy systems.
From home heating to farms, golf courses and renewable energy, Arigna Group is driving innovation that truly matters. Working alongside their customers and partners, they’re proud to help build a more sustainable future through the power of biochar.
