RENEWABLE GAS SYSTEMS MODELLING AND POLICY
Ireland must meet Renewable Energy Supply Targets for Electricity, Heat and Transport by 2020. Electricity targets are likely to be met with increased deployment of wind energy. Renewable heat and transport targets will be more difficult.
Ireland has lots of potential sources of renewable gas. Food waste, slurry, grass and seaweed can be converted to renewable gas through a process called anaerobic digestion. Willow can be converted to gas through thermal gasification. Excess renewable electricity can be used to split water by electrolysis and combine the resulting hydrogen with carbon dioxide to form renewable gas. This process is called Power to Gas.
The renewable gas can be upgraded to the same standard as natural gas. This can be added to the national gas grid and used for domestic or industrial renewable heat, or as a renewable transport fuel.
Renewable gas is currently an untapped resource in Ireland. With policy support this could become an important part of Ireland’s energy mix.
