A significant renewable energy report launched today by Cork Chamber and the Centre for Cooperative Studies at UCC highlights a significant deficit in policy and fiscal support for anaerobic digestion, a technology that converts waste products from food, agriculture, wastewater treatment and other sources into biomethane, a fuel source that can form a key element in Ireland’s efforts to reduce GHG emissions.  

Through SME Energy Champion, Cork Chamber and Energy Cork will work with you to identify how and where energy savings can be made within your business. This is a 12 month pilot initiative and is limited in numbers that can participate.

Find out more about what you will gain through this pilot, and how you can take part.
