The Irish Academy of Engineering says the DECC report contains 'quite unreliable techno-economic analysis' when it comes to hydrogen power and describes as 'simplistic arguments' reasons put forward to exclude options on building LNG import facilities.

The Irish Academy of Engineering has said a report commissioned by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications into the security of supply of Ireland's energy needs"should not be used to underpin any future energy policy development."

It also describes as"simplistic arguments" reasons put forward in the report to exclude options on building Liquid Natural Gas import facilities. It notes that in Ireland today we ban nuclear power but"have no qualms" about constructing an interconnector to France which generates 70% of its power from nuclear plants.
