Enhancing Air Quality and Domestic Heating in Ireland: Strategies for a Decarbonised Economy

This report discusses the relationship between air quality and domestic heating in Ireland, emphasizing the impact of limited heavy industry. It outlines key objectives in the Energy Roadmap, including electrifying heating and cooling to achieve effective CO2 abatement. The document also addresses Ireland’s efforts in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, aiming for widespread coverage in towns and interurban routes. Key policy issues are examined, including the need for policy coherence to support a decarbonised economy and the importance of energy efficiency measures.

  1. Air Quality and DomesticHeating

  2. IRELAND: A clean airflow …. ….. and limited heavy industry Enterprise by Sector in EU Source: CSO 2012

  3. NOx Annual Mean (2011) SO2 Daily Limit Value (2011) Cadmium Annual Mean (2011)

  4. A different “driver” for Air Quality • 20% Effort Sharing Decision • 16% RES target • 40% RES-E 2050 Energy Roadmap: Cost effective CO2 abatement requires electrification of heating and cooling

  5. Ireland (SEM) Generation Output (Apr 2013) Coal Gas Wind Source: Eirgrid 2013

  7. Energy Storage is Key Typical Energy Stored per Day

  8. Smart Electrical Thermal Storage • Supply controlled by Supply / Distribution company • Energy service level maintained for consumer • Pilot projects (Ireland (Dublin), UK (Shetland Islands)) underway

  9. Ireland – Electric Vehicle National Charge points • Public charge points • All towns with population of 1500+ • National Plan 1000+ • Approx 650 Installed to date • 90% of major towns and cities covered • Fast Charge points every 60km on interurban routes • Original Plan 30 • Installed approx 40 – plan up to 100 • Home/ Workplace • First 2000 installed free • Over 500 installed to date

  10. A Challenging Future • Collateral benefit of decarbonising electricity is to drive all other emission reductions below current levels • 2050 Roadmap vision of a decarbonised economy can be delivered cost effectively: • Decarbonise electricity, electrify economy • The Challenge for delivery is policy coherence, not absence of technology • Key policy issue is current concept of energy efficiency (1 kWh wind = 1 kWh coal) • Energy Efficiency Directive • Eco-design Directive
