Arigna Group is proud to announce that we have been awarded the Excellence in Public Sector Sustainability Support Services Award 2025, a prestigious recognition of our efforts to innovate and lead in the renewable energy sector.
This award marks a significant milestone in our company’s journey—from our historical roots in smokeless fuel manufacturing to our current role as a forward-thinking carbon sequestration and biochar production enterprise. Transitioning from traditional energy solutions to cutting-edge, sustainable technologies is no small feat, and this recognition validates the hard work and dedication of our team, partners, and supporters.
A Recognition of Innovation and Impact
Presented as part of the Public Sector Magazine’s Awards Edition, this accolade highlights companies that are making a tangible difference in Ireland’s green transition. Arigna Group has been honoured for our commitment to supporting public sector sustainability goals through innovative solutions that contribute to climate action, circular economy development, and renewable energy generation.
Our Managing Director, Brendan Layden, and Commercial Director, Conor Layden, proudly accepted the award, celebrating the work our team has done to date.
From Black to Green: Our Ongoing Journey
At the heart of our transformation is biochar, a carbon-rich material produced through pyrolysis that not only supports soil health and reduces emissions but also actively sequesters carbon for centuries. Through our technology and ongoing investment in research and development, Arigna Group is playing a key role in shaping Ireland’s bioeconomy and sustainable energy future.
This award is not just a reflection of past accomplishments—it’s a motivator to continue pushing boundaries. As Brendan Layden noted, “While we are proud of what we have achieved to date, we are continually working towards the next goal on this journey. This award is a powerful acknowledgment of the direction we’re heading.”
