We are constantly striving to offer a cleaner, more sustainable energy source for now and in the future. Our journey: Established in 1937, Calor Gas was first sold in convenient steel cylinders as an alternative energy source for those in rural Ireland. From domestic to industrial Calor continued to focus on the domestic market until the mid 1950’s when the industrial division was established to bring an efficient fuel source to the commercial market. In 1972 Calor and its competitor, Kosangas, merged to become Calor Kosangas. Its head office was opened on the Long Mile Road in Dublin, where Calor is still based today. An international dimension In 1996 Calor was acquired by SHV Energy. SHV Energy operates in 28 countries and supplies LPG to 30 million customers across 3 continents. Calor have a new Operations Project office based in our head office on the Long Mile Road in Dublin 12. Calor is a leading supplier and distributor of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) in Ireland.
