While weaning ourselves off coal, oil and gas is a global challenge, it also presents incredible opportunities for Ireland, specifically in the area of electricity generated by offshore wind, backed up by mega-batteries and interconnection, and of course, green hydrogen – the home-produced fuel of the future that can replace natural gas, fire our power stations and heavy industries and fuel our trucks and ships. We can go from being an energy importer to being an energy exporter with all the benefits that come with it – greater energy security and price stability, employment and regional development.
