ireland's energy futures
DESCRIPTION
The Long Range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) software was used to create a model of energy and climate futures for Ireland that could result from the implementation of different policy measures including business as usual, demand side management, feed-in tariffs, and electrifying parts of the transportation system. These scenarios are considered individually and in tandem with each other.TRANSCRIPT

1. Business as Usual
Transport and Residential the two most demanding sectors
1. Business as Usual
• 87.7% of the demand met by oil and natural gas (2010)• Most of the fossil fuels imported
Serious problem with ENERGY SECURITY
2. Demand Side Management
1. Peak Load Management
2. Efficiency Improvements
2. Demand Side Management
-10 % Energy Demand by 2040
3. 20/20/20 and Beyond
1. REFIT 2 and REFIT 3:Feed-in Tariff: Wind, Hydro, Landfill gas and Biomass
2. TRANSPORTATION: Electric cars: 10% by 2020Biofuel mix: 10% by 2020, 19% by 2040
3. EFFICIENCY MEASURESEfficiency: +20 % in 2020Public Sector: -33% consumption by 2020 (from ‘00 values)
4. OFFSHORE ENERGY (envision)1500 MW of ocean energy by 2020 4500 MW of offshore wind by 2030
3. 20/20/20 and Beyond
202020 + offshore Scenario in 2040: -25% compared to BAU
3. 20/20/20 and Beyond2020 2040
BAU
202020+offshore
4. GHG Mitigation
• Transport scenario not reducing GHGs since no RES defined• The lower values of GHG Emissions for the 202020+offshore
