Renewable energy subject of lecture

THE next lecture in the Faculty of Science Public Lecture Series at UCC — which will take place at 8pm on Wednesday — will focus on the extent to which renewable energy can deliver in Ireland and make a serious contribution to our future energy needs.

Due to recent oil price increases together with increased evidence of climate change, there is considerable debate regarding the role that may be played by energy efficiency, renewable energy and nuclear energy.

Dr Brian Ó Gallachóir, lecturer in energy engineering at UCC and the principal investigator in the Sustainable Energy Research Group within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the university, will deliver the lecture.
