From energy living labs to creating energy-secure communities, new use cases,
Zero Together is a unique initiative that is bringing together diverse perspectives and experience from businesses, communities, transport groups, academia and local authorities to work towards the same goal of moving Dublin away from fossil fuels as soon as possible, with the ultimate aim of developing the county into a clean and healthy region to live, work, study and visit.
The purpose of Zero Together is to create and deliver on a shared vision and strategy for a fossil-fuel-free Dublin that is ambitious and inclusive. Zero Together aims to be a catalyst and support for ongoing collaboration, holding decision-makers to account and engaging the people of Dublin in the energy transition.
In July 2021, President Higgins signed Ireland''s Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021. This bill enshrined into law, a 51% emission-reduction target for 2030 and a carbon-neutrality target for 2050. Every faction of society has a role to play in meeting these targets. Zero Together presents a collaborative roadmap for Dublin''s role in the energy transition to ensure these targets are achieved. Section 1 provides background and context to the Zero Together initiative detailing the three core elements driving the process; 1) collaboration, 2) an evidence-base 3) public engagement and communication.

Across the globe, 2024 has seen the climate crisis continue to accelerate, with Europe rocked by deadly flooding and wildfire events yet again. Meanwhile, the political drive for net-zero has been a key agenda item on the ballot. This year’s European Parliament elections were set against a backdrop of increasing right-wing populism, with years of progress on Green issues overturned as politics lurched to the right, driven in Ireland and elsewhere by a surge in anti-migrant activism. Can the EU survive the coming polycrisis of food shortages, mass climate migration and ever more deadly weather extremes and how should we be preparing?
As governments enact climate-friendly policies, electric grids need to be decarbonised, by using renewable-energy sources. Despite its urgency, redesigning electric grids is both a political and technological challenge. How can such a revolution happen?
Recent research from KPMG shows that people in Ireland are broadly committed to change and support large-scale energy infrastructure and renewable energy projects once they benefit local communities and create jobs. However, to secure Ireland''s energy future and achieve energy independence, we need a compelling vision for what this will mean for people, their communities and future job prospects.
How can urgent transition and affordability issues be effectively addressed? We''ll hear how
EnergyCloud, a social enterprise, is a win-win solution to tackling energy poverty in Ireland.
From energy living labs to creating energy-secure communities, new use cases, business models, and planning methodologies to aid in the implementation of community energy hubs; Mark talks us through some projects empowering citizens and fostering energy secure communities through innovative methodologies and technologies
Building a fleet of rapid-responding storage assets to underpin a balanced grid
Industrial decarbonisation of data centres and large-scale energy consumers
New tools to manage energy consumption
progress in commercialising airborne wind energy and its potential for Ireland.
Under the Aarhus Convention developers must provide access to Information, enable public participation in decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters. Failing to engage communities affected by your transition plans carries significant financial, operational, and reputational risk. Carol discusses how energy companies can create a responsible, benefit-driven community integration strategy that will supercharge clean-energy success.

The Business Post''s 2024 Energy Transition Summit will provide a forum for leaders in Ireland''s energy ecosystem to explore how we make our net-zero emissions future a reality.
Industry stakeholders, innovators, policy makers and investors will meet to advance the transition towards a renewable energy ecosystem focusing on moving from clean energy vision to clean energy action. The event will feature presentations, case studies, panel discussions and deep dive break-out sessions on key topics led by industry experts and thought leaders.
We're delighted to share that the MC for Stream One at the Energy Transition Summit will be Conall Bolger, our CEO. Conall has nearly two decades of markets and policy experience working across the energy value chain from community and customer site projects to larger scale onshore and offshore wind development. He founded, led, and developed Cornwall Insight''s Irish operations. His international renewables experience includes Poland, Canada, and the UK. Join us on Sept 26 in Croke Park for a stimulating day of discussion and debate on how we address the urgency of the energy transition. Secure your spot today ➡️ https://loom.ly/PHSf6yY
Dublin City Council is committed to pursuing sustainable energy policies in accordance with the White Paper ''Towards a Sustainable Energy Future for Ireland 2007 – 2020'' and ''Ireland''s Transition to a Low Carbon Energy Future 2015 – 2030''. Fossil fuel use is responsible for over half of all GHG emissions globally, and the majority of these emissions come from energy supply, transport, residential and commercial buildings, and industry (IPCC, 2007).
Reducing energy consumption and finding alternative, non-polluting, and renewable sources for energy provision and transport are the more prominent issues targeted by national and international policies in order to reduce CO2 contributions.
The national level ''Strategy for Renewable Energy 2012 – 2020 (Dept of Communications, Climate Action and Environment) seeks a 20% improvement in energy efficiency by 2020, along with 20% of energy to come from renewable sources and a 20% reduction in EU CHGs.
In 2014, the EU Commission published its Climate Change and Energy Framework 2030, which seeks to make progress to achieve a low carbon economy. It proposes to achieve a 40% reduction in greenhouses gases by 2030 relative to 1990. The two main EU Directives which aim to meet these targets are the EU Energy Efficiency (EE) Directive (2012/27/EU) and the EU Renewable Energy Sources (RES) Directive (2009/28/ EC).
Under the RES Directive, the target set for Ireland is for 16% of national gross final energy consumption to come from RES by 2020. On foot of this, the National Energy Action Plan (NREAP) outlines how the 16% target can be achieved, and sets national sectoral targets. The National Energy Efficiency Plan (NEEAP) sets out a policy road map to 2020 setting a higher target of 33% energy reductions in the public sector. Also of relevance are the Irish Building Regulations 2011, Part L of which aims to incorporate high levels of energy efficiency and RES in new dwellings.
