The Irish currently continuing the energy independence and the development of their economy robust through the implementation of the research and development in alternative energy sources. At the time of writing these lines, about 90% of the energy needs of the Ireland are met by import - the highest level of dependency of the product in the history of the entire nation. It is a very precarious situation, and the need for the development of alternative energy sources in Ireland is clearly seen. Ireland aims to retain and rejuvenate its naturally beautiful environment and clean atmosphere with the implementation of alternative energy supplies. The European Union has mandated a reduction in the emissions of sulfuric and nitric acid for all Member nations. Green energy is necessary to achieve these objectives. Hydropower has been used in Ireland in some areas, since the 1930s and has been very effective; However, more should be installed. Ireland must also harness the power of the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, is a potential energy supply that the nation was in a department store on the West Coast.
The Ireland has real potential to become an exporter of energy, plutôt que as a nation so heavily dependent on imported energy. This potential energy is in the Ireland substantial wind, waves of the ocean and biomass - producing potential alternative energy. The Ireland could become a supplier of electricity generated by the ocean and wave energy fueled by biomass in continental Europe and, as they say, "give a death". Currently, Ireland is more closely focused on reaching the point where it can produce 15% of the electricity in the country through wind farms, which the Government has set a national goal to be achieved by 2010. But, universities, research institutes and Government in Ireland staff said that the development of the wave energy technology Ocean would be a real engine for the economy of the country and the other which would greatly help to improve the independent energy Ireland. A test site for the development of the energy of ocean waves was established in Ireland, less than two miles off the coast of An Spideal in the County of Galway Bay. This wave of experimental Ocean operator site is known as "wavebob." The most energetic waves in the world are located on the West coast of the Ireland, says Navy Institute CEO Dr Peter Heffernan the Ireland. The technology to harness the power of the ocean is just and the Ireland has the chance to become a leader of the market in this sector. David Taylor, Director General of the sustainable energy Initiative, or SEI, learn us that SEI is committed to innovation in the renewable energy sector. The energy of the wave is a new promising renewable resource that could one day make a significant contribution to the Ireland electricity generation mix to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
Padraig Walshe, Chairman of the Irish farmers Association, says that the closure of the sugar beet industry, an increasing amount of land resources Irish will become available for use, including the production of bioenergy. Today, renewable energy sources meet only 2% of the total energy of the Ireland. From a perspective of agriculture, energy crops has a viable future if they provide an economic return on investment and labour, and the prospect of this return is secure in the future. Currently, the return of energy crops is marginal and impedes the development of the industry. Biomass energy should be further researched by the Ireland.
