• Started March 1998 under EU SAVE II Programme
• StructureCompany Limited by GuaranteeIndependent, not for profit entity
• Funding
– SAVE funding ended Sept 2001.
– Core funding via Local Authorities for EMS
– Consultancy, EU Projects, National and Local Projects
Module 1: Fundamentals – Energy und Environment
Mission
‘The Agency will develop, promote and provide appropriate energy services to all sectors in Co.
Tipperary and beyond with the aim of promoting, developing and implementing best
practice and energy policy and therefore establish Co. Tipperary as one of the most
energy efficient counties in Europe. In doing so it will assist in limiting green house gas
emissions and contributing to sustainable development’

Which Crafts and Why?
• ‘Craft’ defined in this project to include food producers, carpenters, bakers, butchers and builders
• Sector traditionally ignored and generally energy inefficient
• Energy prices have effect on
– Production
– Economic viability
• Significant opportunities for savings and introduction of alternatives
10
Module 1: Fundamentals – Energy und Environment
Small Food Producers
TEA has selected this as its focus area because
• It is a growth area in Ireland driven by consumer interest in speciality/local/organic foods
• Difficulty for small producers to access supermarket shelves
• Economic growth (more spending power)
• Diversification at farm level
• Some support at Local and National level
• Limited or no specific energy data available
• Mimics the energy use and technologies of other sectors
Module 1: Fundamentals – Energy und Environment
Supports for Small Food Producers
• National– Bord Bia: promotion, branding & marketing
• Speciality Foods Department– Dept. of Agriculture and EPA– Legislation, Licensing, Best Available Technology
• Local– County Enterprise Boards– Enterprise support to SMEs– LEADER Companies– Specific SFP Officers– Promotion, Technical Advice,– Business Start-up
11
Module 1: Fundamentals – Energy und Environment
Relevant Energy Supports
• Local Energy Agencies
• Sustainable Energy IrelandFocused on Large Industry1 leaflet for SME’s on energy – not specific to food
• Environment Protection AgencyFocus on Industry mainly Energy UtilitiesProviding some supports e.g. ESB Customer Service
• No evidence of other projects in this area in Ireland
Module 1: Fundamentals – Energy und Environment
Opportunities – Energy Saving
Energy is currently wasted across all sectors. This project will:– Identify opportunities for savings and seek to
implement actions– Increase the knowledge of people in the
sector in the area and therefore stimulate investment
– Influence future expansion to be more energy efficient
12
Module 1: Fundamentals – Energy und Environment
Opportunities – Renewable Energy
Expect that options will emerge from E-Check project with regard to
– Solar energy – space, water and process heating
– Wood energy - space, water and process heating
– Green electricity purchasing

– To produce a good
– To travel
– To obtain thermal comfort conditions

Module 1: Fundamentals – Energy und Environment
Differences between renewable and non renewable energies
• Non renewable
– Fossil fuels (petroleum, gas and coal) produce pollutant emissions
– Nuclear energy generates threatening wastes
– Fossil fuels are finite
– In the balance of trade it represents a tremendous cost
• Renewable
– CO2 emissions and other pollutant gases to the atmosphere are not produced (or have a neutral impact)
– Wastes that are difficult to treat are not generated
– They are infinite
– They are autochthonous/indigenous
– Generates five times the job creation of fossil fuels

Commercial Sector
• Commercial & Public Sector accounted for 14.5% of TFC in 2002
• TFC increased by 58% between 1990 and 2001Oil, gas and electricity make up the majority of primary fuels for the sector
• Electricity usage grew by 150% over the period with 2002 experiencing a growth rate of 18% alone.
• The energy intensity of the sector showed a decrease of 14% from1990 to 2002. Note that this is primarily due to the increased added value in the sector.
• Trend towards increased electricity intensity in the sector (significant increase from 2000 onwards).
