Dr. Brian Ó Gallachóir:

EirGrid is considering the idea of wind energy on an instantaneous basis, that is, trying to move towards being able to accommodate 70% wind energy on an instantaneous basis. It is being looked at in the context of the remaining 30% on an instantaneous basis and what that will mean in 2050. Depending on the scenarios regarding electrification, it will be more or less and then there will be consequences in terms of what is feasible. Clearly the Kinsale gas field is just one example but it looks like the most promising. The SEAI and the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, have done some studies on sites for carbon capture and storage around the country and that one looks to be the most promising. However, that is a very early stage result.
