Project Ireland 2040: Energy and Climate Change
1. Project Ireland 2040: Energy & Climate Change
Policy Forum for Ireland - Keynote Seminar
Priorities for implementing โProject Ireland 2040โ
May 2018
Dr Phil Hemmingway
Head of Department, Low-Carbon Technologies; Phil.Hemmingway@seai.ie
2. โข BE in Engineering and PhD in Energy/Engineering
โข Currently Head of Department, SEAI Low Carbon Technologies (Joint)
โข Research & Innovation; Behavioural Economics & Tech Units
โข Modelling; Statistics & Technology Units
Introduction to Phil
โข 5yrs, SFI โ Extensive investment in R&D (โฌ185M)
โข Responsible for SFI Energy, Engineering & Environment
โข 1yr, UCD - Lecturer. MSc in Sustainable Energy & Green Tech
โข 5yrs, private sector. Energy policy, infra & technologies

SEAIโs Vision
Irelandโs energy will be sustainable, secure, affordable and clean
1.Use Less 2.Use Clean
3.Innovate
- Energy Efficiency = most
economical & immediate opportunities to
reduce import dependence & emissions
and bring social & economic benefits
Fully exploit all
local renewable
energy sources
in a socially &
environmentally
sustainable way- develop new technological, economic &
social approaches to sustainable energy transition.
SEAI mandate to lead & coordinate energy research
& innovation, support policy evidence-base
4. Context Setting: EU 2030 Energy & Climate Framework
โข 2030 climate and energy framework - 3 key EU targets for 2030:
40% cut in Greenhouse Gas Emissions from 1990 levels
(Low carbon transition: 60% by 2040, 80-90% by 2050)
*27% โfinal consumptionโ from renewable energy
*27% improvement in energy efficiency vs 2007
Member State 2030 targets currently being finalised
โข What happens if we miss binding targets?
โ Monetary fines (compliance costs), potential reputational damage
โ Progressively harder to โcatch upโ,
โ Further damage to the climate
5. National Development Plan โ Energy & Climate Headlines
โข Taxation; regulatory and behaviour change measures also critical
โข Is it enough to โsolve the problemโ?
โข Not in isolation โ but a very important marker on Ireland's journey to a
low carbon & climate resilient society
โฌ7.6Bn Exchequer funding (2018 to 2027)
Govt. expects this will lead to โฌ14.2Bn private investment by 2027
โฌ500M Climate Action Fund
Projects and initiatives that cut across transport, energy efficiency,
renewable energy, research and agriculture.
6. NDP: 2021-2030 national energy & climate targets (non-ETS)
Full roll out of Support Scheme for Renewable Heat
Energy efficient home upgrades: Increase from 25k to 45k
annually by 2021; deeper measures; >BER B
All public buildings and one-third commercial >BER B
Replacing oil boilers: change at least 170k homes to heat
pumps (+ solar provision)
>500k electric vehicles by 2030 & more charging infrastructure
Expand refuelling network for alternatively
fuelled vehicles to address freight emissions
Major investments in public & sustainable
transport public bus fleet, cycling & walking network
Town-scale pilots of food/agri waste-to-gas facilities
Energy Efficiency
Sustainable Transport
Renewable Heat
7. NDP: long-term energy & climate decarbonisation targets
New Renewable Electricity Support
Scheme (+4,500MW by 2030)
Energy Research Funding to accelerate diversification
away from fossil fuels to green energy
Reinforcement of power grid & enhanced interconnection
Conversion of carbon intensive power plants
end coal burning at Moneypoint by 2025 and
convert peat powered plants by 2030
Roll out National Smart Energy Metering programme
Develop gas infrastructure projects to
support regional & rural development
Pilot โclimate smart countrysideโ projects
e.g. homes & farms as electricity exporters
Research &
Innovation
Electricity, Gas & Fossil Fuels
8. NDP: Key Messages from SEAI
โข NDP commitments to energy & climate are a significant step forward
โข โIs it enough?โ Not in isolation, but an important marker on the journey
โข Achieving Irelandโs clean energy transition is a monumental challenge โ
SEAI, as Irelandโs national energy authority is leading the way
โข Energy-climate is inherently cross-sectoral and integrated
โข Leadership required at all levels of Government and from all sectors to
enable Ireland to meet & exceed targets
