Cork is seeking to capitalise on its energy resources, both conventional and renewable, through the establishment of Energy Cork.

ONE of the country’s leading energy engineering experts has called on the Government and policymakers to “ramp up” our policy on improving energy efficiency and use of renewable energy in homes and transport.

With a global crisis looming, what are we doing to ease our addiction to fossil fuels and imported energy? Not much. Claire O’Sullivan reports.

UNIVERSITY College Cork launched the country’s first energy engineering degree course yesterday.

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.
