On Tuesday, 17th December NESC Policy Analyst Dr. Jeanne Moore attended an energy research showcase organised by UCC’s Environmental Research Institute and MaREI. The showcase was held at Engineers Ireland in Dublin, and saw nearly 100 stakeholders and guests from the policy, industry, and NGO communities in attendance. The purpose of the day was to highlight some of the Energy Policy and Modelling Group’s research and insights.

NESC was invited to take part in this event by its co-organiser Prof. Brian Ó Gallachóir, Director of MaREI and Associate Vice President of Sustainability at UCC. Jeanne chaired the second session and its subsequent panel discussion, which focused on energy security and infrastructure. Other topics touched on were the possibility of emissions from aviation being a blind spot in Ireland’s climate goals, and district heating’s interaction with other decarbonisation measures in the residential sector. The panel discussion featured inputs from Dr. Vahid Aryanpur, Dr. Paul Deane, Dr. Tomás Mac Uidhir, and Dr. Alexandra Revez, all of UCC.
