Summary: This report examines the contribution made by renewables to Ireland's energy requirements for the period 1990 to 2008, with a particular focus on production data in 2008, and introduces provisional 2009 data. Capacity data are available for 2009 and early 2010. This is the fourth in a planned series of updates and follows the Renewable Energy in Ireland 2008 Report1, which focused on wind energy and biofuels. This report also contains data in relation to waste energy to reflect the submission to the IEA/Eurostat annual survey on renewables and waste and the growing contribution of wastes to Ireland's energy supply. The energy from wastes currently used in Ireland (landfill gas, sewage sludge gas, wood wastes, tallow and meat and bone meal) are all classified as renewable sources of energy.
