Ireland’s Gas Network Delivering for IrelandThe key role of gas in Ireland8Power generationGiven its flexibility, natural gas is the optimal complementary energy source to intermittent renewable energy such as wind andsolar, and remains the fuel most required to assist Ireland’s transition to a low carbon economy.The importance of gas in Ireland’s energy mix was again demonstrated in 2020, with the gas network powering 51% of thecountry’s electricity requirements and more than 85% at its peak in August. The gas network’s ability to respond to changingprofiles is an increasingly important feature for the electricity grid as intermittent renewable electricity generationcontinues to grow. Figure 1, showing an excerpt of the fuel mix for 2020, illustrates the vital role of gas for security of electricitysupply, providing flexible, secure supply when renewables are less available. The partnership between flexible gas-fired powergeneration and intermittent renewable generation is key to enabling Ireland’s renewable integration ambition into the future. Theinterdependence between gas and electricity is beneficial for Ireland, providing and maintaining competitive energy pricesand a secure and reliable supply of energy. Figure 2 illustrates the significant role gas continues to play in power generation. Thisis likely to increase in importance in the future, as the grid adapts to meet the increasing electricity demand predicted by Eirgrid⁹ andIreland addresses the challenge of delivering 80% renewable electricity by 2030, in line with current Government policy10.Security of supplyFigure 3 illustrates the changing picture in relation to the sources for gas used in Ireland. In 2020, as the Kinsale gas field ceased productionin July and the Corrib output continued its decline, approximately 36% of Ireland’s gas demand was supplied from indigenoussources. The balance of supply, at 64%, was imported via the gas interconnectors from Scotland. This interconnectivity affordsIreland access to the GB gas market; one of the largest and most liquid gas markets.Ireland’s renewable gas injection point in Cush, Co. Kildare had its first commercial flows during 2020 and, together with plansfor the development of other renewable gas facilities, can help to offset the decline in current indigenous production. In parallel, GasNetworks Ireland completed the construction of a hydrogen innovation centre in Brownsbarn, Co. Dublin, and is assessing the potentialfor hydrogen on the network.The large energy storage capability and flexibility of the network mean it can ramp up to meet high heat demand during extreme coldperiods, or it can provide extra fuel for power generation when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine. Gas-fired generationcontinues to play a key part in meeting Ireland’s electricity generation requirements, with gas fired power plants on occasion deliveringover 80% of Ireland’s electricity generation in what is, at times, a tight electricity system. Recognising the importance of the gas network inthe energy transition, the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC) is carrying out a comprehensive review ofthe security of energy supply of Ireland’s natural gas and electricity systems. The focus of the review is the period to 2030 in the context ofensuring a sustainable pathway to 2050.The gas network is resilient and designed to withstand the most severe weather conditions. Figure 4 demonstrates this resilience, where,during the severe winter weather of 2009-10, the gas network continued to deliver gas safely and securely, with additional capacityavailable, should this have been required.Future demandDuring 2020, gas supply was constant and delivered without interruption to service. This is testament to the resilience of thenetwork and its proven capability to deliver on gas demand in all conditions. According to Gas Networks Ireland projections,reflected in Figure 5, gas demand in Ireland is expected to grow by 23% between now and 2029⁸.The main drivers for growth are within the power generation sector, and include: significant projected growth in electricity demand and the need for additional gas-fired power generation to meet this demand expected growth in electricity demand of 33 per cent by 2029⁹ projected growth in industrial and commercial sector gas demand, in line with growth in new connections the phasing out of coal and peat.Gas demand came close to record levels over a number of days at the beginning of January 2021. Notably, on the ‘peak day’ forRepublic of Ireland (ROI) gas demand (January 8th) electricity interconnectors operated as net exporters of electricity to Great Britain(GB). This, combined with high electricity demand and moderate wind generation in ROI, drove high demand for gas-fired powergeneration. Closing at 6.1 TWh, gas demand for January (2021) was the highest monthly gas demand level in over a decadeand the third highest ever. The only time gas demand was higher in Ireland was in 2010, when the country experienced some ofthe coldest weather on record.As electricity demand continues to grow, and as Ireland moves to achieve the target of 80% renewable electricity by 203010, the roleof the gas network has never been more critical.8

Ireland’s Gas Network Delivering for IrelandThe future role of the gas networkClimate change is one of our most urgent global issues and Ireland faces significant challenges in meeting EUand national climate targets and objectives. With a commitment to becoming net zero by 2050, Ireland’s ClimateAction and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 202111 puts the national climate objective on a statutory footingand actions for each sector are detailed and updated periodically in the Climate Action Plan.The gas network has a key role to play in delivering on this ambition. Through proven technologies, such as CNG forheavy transport, and globally recognised renewable gases, such as biomethane and hydrogen, the gas network willsubstantially reduce Ireland’s carbon emissions while complementing intermittent renewable electricity and ensuring asecure energy supply.Net-zero carbon by 2050By gradually replacing natural gas with renewable gases, such as biomethane and hydrogen, Gas Networks Ireland isstriving to deliver a net-zero carbon gas network by 2050 and to reduce emissions across a number of key sectors, includingthose that are traditionally difficult to decarbonise, including transport, agriculture, industry, heating and power generation.Proven technologiesBiomethaneA carbon-neutral renewable gas made from farm and food waste, biomethane is fully compatible with Ireland’sexisting infrastructure, technologies and appliances, and has already begun replacing natural gas in the network, withdomestically produced biomethane entering the network in Cush, Co. Kildare and a second entry point, a Central GridInjection (CGI) facility, planned in Mitchelstown, Co. Cork. With planning approved and technical design underway, thisCGI facility will take biomethane produced from facilities off-network and within a radius of up to 100 km.Cleaner environmentCleaner energyfor electricity,heat andtransportAgricultureFood productionThe Renewable Gas StoryFarm & food wasteRenewable gasinjected intothe gas networkAnaerobic digesterBio-fertiliserRenewable gastransportedCarbon neutralrenewable gasAs well as offering an immediate decarbonisation solution for transport, industry, heating and power generation, andthe ability for businesses to power their operations via renewable gas made from their own waste in a truly sustainablecircular economy, the EU’s Farm to Fork Strategy highlights biomethane as a key element in decarbonising agriculture –a particularly important focus for Ireland.The European Commission has identified Ireland as having the greatest potential per capita to deploybiomethane¹¹ and the Irish Government’s Climate Action Plan has set a current target of 2.9% (1.6 TWh) of gason the network being biomethane by 203010. In order for renewable gas to deliver as a decarbonisation solution forIreland, policy support will be required. The recently published Government public consultation on the Introduction of aRenewable Heat Obligation in Ireland is a notable first step in this direction.10
HydrogenA carbon free renewable gas that can be made from excess renewableelectricity and stored until needed, hydrogen is vital to both Ireland’s andthe EU’s ambition for a net-zero energy system by 2050. Hydrogen alsodemonstrates how greater integration between Ireland’s gas and electricitynetworks can support a low carbon economy, while also enhancing energysecurity and diversity.HIreland’s gas network is considered one of the safest and most modern in theworld. To ensure it is capable of safely transporting and storing hydrogen, Gas2Networks Ireland has invested in a Hydrogen Innovation Centre at itsCitywest Campus at Brownsbarn, Co. Dublin, where pipelines, meters andappliances are being tested for use with a variety of gases and hydrogenblends. Currently it is understood that blends of up to 20% hydrogen arecompatible with existing gas infrastructure. A rigorous testing programmewill take place to confirm the level of hydrogen that Ireland’s gas network canfacilitate.H0HH20Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)CNG involves the deployment of technologies which deliver gas that hasbeen compressed to high pressures (over 200 bar) for use in transport. It iscompatible with both natural and renewable gas and is particularly suitable forheavy commercial vehicles where electric solutions are not a viable option.A proven, reliable and cleaner alternative to diesel, Ireland’s CNGconsumption in the first half of 2021 doubled in comparison to the same periodin 2020. With four public and three private CNG stations now operational, anda further ten in planning and development, Gas Networks Ireland is paving theway for sustainable transport and supply chains and enabling the two milliongas vehicles across Europe¹³ to extend their routes to Ireland.BelfastSligoVirginiaCity NorthTrimDublinGalwayJunction 14MonasterevinBallycoolinSt Margaret’sBallymountCappagh RoadClonshaughDublin imonRoadCashelTraleeAs well as continuing to roll out a national CNG fuelling network in partnershipwith Ireland’s forecourt operators and hauliers, Gas Networks Irelandlaunched a 2.9m CNG Vehicle Grant Scheme to support the purchase of upto 400 new gas-powered vehicles and help Irish transport operators to makethe sustainable transition to CNG and play their part in reducing transportemissions works RoadCorkWaterfordOperational Public StationsOperational Private StationsRenewable Gas Injection FacilityContracted Public StationsContracted Private StationsClean energy futureTransitioning to a clean energy economy requires a balance be

important because GB gas is the marginal supply for Ireland. Generally, Irish wholesale gas prices are set by the GB price of gas plus the cost of transporting gas from GB to Ireland via the interconnectors. Under the 2022/23 tariffs the transportation cost of GB gas to Ireland will increase by c.8.67% (in real terms (i.e. adjusted for inflation)).
