The Mayo Energy Plan 2008-2030
With some support from Mayo County Council under the LA21 partnership, the Sustainability Institute has been carrying out an energy audit of the county of Mayo. The results of this research, which is intended to form the basis for a comprehensive strategic energy action plan for Mayo, will be published in the near future. The study has examined all of Mayo’s renewable energy resources as well as considering the future role of fossil fuels. It represents the first regional study of its type to be carried out in Ireland.
Publication date: July 2008. Advance copies can now be ordered. Click below for further details.
Sustainability: the Book
Crash Landing: Ireland’s response to Peak Oil, Global Warming and Food Scarcity
You've seen the magazine, now read the book! This large format A4 publication, lovingly produced in the same style as the magazine, will provide a snapshot of Ireland at the present time and will offer a menu of options and strategies for long term survival and comfort in the years during and after the crash.
Crash Landing will be published by the Sustainability Institute during 2008. The Institute is still looking for financial backers for the project, which is estimated to cost about €80,000. Any individual or organisation interested in providing a low or zero interest rate loan - however small - for a period of 12-18 months is requested to get in touch.
