Summary
THE Tallaght District Heating Scheme received the Energy Globe Award 2024 for Ireland, announced South Dublin County Council.
The award recognised the scheme’s “significant contribution to sustainable heating and carbon reduction in the Tallaght area,” commented SDCC.
The scheme is operated by the Council through Heat Works, Ireland’s first not-for profit energy utility based on Belgard Road.
By reusing waste heat from a nearby data centre, it provides low-carbon heating to a number of public buildings in the area, including South Dublin County Council facilities and TU Dublin buildings.
According to SDCC, this approach reduces carbon emissions by approximately 1,500 tonnes annually and makes a significant impact on the nation’s decarbonization efforts.
