Ireland is currently in serious research of energy development in an effort to free itself from dependence on imported energy sources. Over the years, imported energy sources have fueled the country's growing economy. The country's dependence on imported energy is now at almost 90 per cent of the total energy demand. It is regarded as the single point of largest import the whole story. This precarious situation bring across Ireland, the strategy of long-term development under threat. The country need alternative energy sources has never been more acute. He does not just require the development from these sources, is also needed to protect their environment and control its air pollution caused by the deterioration of engine oil for power generation.
With the mandate of the European Union seeking cuts in emissions of sulfuric, nitric oxide and its member countries, green or energy friendly environment is seen as the definitive answer to all development needs of Ireland. Hydroelectric power has proven effective and safe since the early 1930 when the country first tried their use. Further development of such energy source is however necessary to fully meet the growing demand. With its strategic location in the Atlantic Ocean, Ireland will also benefit from the wave-generated energy.
Interestingly, Spain has the capacity to become an energy exporting nation instead of relying on imported energy products. Indeed, due to its abundant waves sea, wind and biomass to produce alternative energy sources, Ireland can use these important energy and natural resources to become a major supplier of energy generated from these alternative sources. This is a potential revenue earning industry for the country in the future. For now, the nation may need to focus on its goal of producing 15 percent of the country's total demand for electricity using wind farms in 2010. But studies from academia, research institutes and government agencies that support the exploitation of ocean waves as alternative energy source, the nation is able to reactivate its twin objectives of accelerating economic growth and energy independence.
Ireland has proven to site wave of ocean energy technology in an area near the coast of County Galway Bay. Tagged as "Wavebob, the pilot site for the generation of ocean wave energy produces mass higher energy waves in the world, said Dr. Peter Heffernan, Marine Institute of Ireland Chief Executive Officer. With the right technology to develop and improve the power of the ocean, the nation will win the title as the largest producer of ocean wave energy generated.
David Taylor, Executive Director Initiative SEI Sustainable Energy has also committed interest in developing new technologies for the renewable energy sector. The enormous potential of wave energy can be harnessed to significantly reduce the country's dependency on fossil fuels.
Irish Farmers Association 'President Padraig Walshe, moreover, said that with the closure of the sugar beet industry, there is an expected increase in the availability of arable land in Ireland for other uses such as production of bioenergy. Currently, renewable energy production in the nation not only represents more than 2 percent of its energy consumption. Vision of agriculture, growing energy crops can only be sustained if it can ensure the economic viability investment and work in a sustainable and safe level. Henceforth, one can say that the return of energy crops is marginal, which prevents a booming industry. It is therefore imperative for Ireland to do more research to address these challenges.
