Version : Sustainable Energy Your logo Slide 2 Sustainable Energy Overview Objective: Convince the organisation that energy management is an important issue because: Fossil fuels will run out Climate change is a result of CO 2 emissions due to burning fossil fuels and deforestation Ireland has committed to reduce CO 2 emissions under the Kyoto protocol Carbon taxes will be introduced from 2004 EU and Irish legislation will drive introduction of sustainable practices

Version : Sustainable Energy Your logo Slide 4 Energy is Finite 2000 BC 1750 AD2200 AD 6000 AD Notes: Most of the earth’s fossil have been used since the industrial revolution Current projection for oil reserves is about 50 years with about 200 years for coal

Version : Sustainable Energy Your logo Slide 6 Sustainability Notes: “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” Brundtland Commission definition of sustainability Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI), formerly the Irish Energy Centre, was established as a separate statutory body in May 2002 as recommended by the Irish Green Paper on Sustainable Energy. A summary of the Green Paper can be accessed at:

Version : Sustainable Energy Your logo Slide 7 Kyoto Notes : Ireland’s Kyoto target for the period 2008 –2012 was breached in By 2001, annual GHG emissions were 27% above 1990 levels and projections in the National Climate Change Strategy indicate that emissions levels may rise to 37% above 1990 levels by 2010 if the country continues on a ‘business as usual’ path. The most significant area of growth is in energy related emissions in particular since Source: Energy in Ireland 2002 : Trends, issues and indicators , Sustainable Energy Ireland Statistical Support Unit,2003 Fig : Ireland’s CO2 emissions profile from O’Rourke 2003

Version : Sustainable Energy Your logo Slide 8 What’s a tonne of CO 2 13 bulbs will emit 1 kg of CO 2 in one hour 100W light bulbs => 13,000 bulbs will emit a tonne of CO 2 in one hour

Version : Sustainable Energy Your logo Slide 9 What’s a tonne of CO 2 ? 2 kg of CO 2 will fill your oil tank (1000L) => 1 tonne will fill 500 oil tanks

Version : Sustainable Energy Your logo Slide 10 Taxes Ireland is the most energy import dependant country in Europe at 86% A carbon tax will be introduced in Ireland in 2004 Presently the UK Climate Change Levy (CCL) is approximately 0.6c/kWh (0.43p/kWh) If nothing is done, Ireland will be 13 Mt (million tonnes) over Kyoto agreed limits –Based on a projected fine* of €80 per tonne this will translate into €1 billion ! projection only as this is currently under review Business as usual is not an option – everyone must play their part
