View answerThe White Paper, Ireland's Transition to a Low Carbon Energy Future, sets out a vision for transforming Ireland's fossil-fuel based energy sector into a clean, low carbon system over the next thirty five years to 2050. Implementation of the Energy White Paper will require a range of technical knowledge and analysis. This will be provided by a combination of existing public sector resources and, where necessary, external expertise. Energy expertise in the public sector includes both Government Departments and agencies such as the SEAI.
