Closed sugar factory ideal for the fuel of the future

TWO issues that should be top priority for the Department of the Environment and Cork County Council are climate change and the need for increased energy production.

But if we continue to use fossil fuels to produce the extra energy or use transport energy to import alternative fuels, then we are going to produce more emissions and more climate change.
