Decisions on Ireland’s energy future could mean the difference between a giant step towards cheaper renewables or "locking in" more, expensive gas for years to come according to charities.
While it has been widely accepted we need some gas to keep the lights on as we transition to climate-friendly energy solutions, there are real fears new fossil fuel infrastructure could set us back decades.
Ireland promised to “end new direct public support for the international unabated fossil fuel energy sector by the end of 2022, except in limited and clearly defined circumstances that are consistent with a 1.5°C warming limit” at COP26.
