Abstract
This report focuses on the role of clean technologies in all sectors of the Irish economy and highlights that no silver bullet exists. Energy efficiency is a resilient technology choice and is an enabler of low-carbon choices. Continued deployment of renewables in all modes of energy (electricity, heat and transport) is required, in particular the continued deployment of bioenergy in the heating and transport sectors.
