6.8.1. Potential to Expand OSR Crop This scenario to expand the energy potential within the South-East Region involves replacing 75% of the area previously planted with sugar beet with oilseed rape. Table 6.12: Potential Energy from Increased OSR Production Note 1 Information supplied by DAFF (2007) Note 2 Assume an average yield of 10 tonnes/ha Note 3 Assume an energy content of 18 GJ/tonne ( 30 ) Previous Sugar OSR Crop (ha) Energy Potential Beat Area (ha) Note 1 Note 2 (TJ) Note 3 Carlow 3,508 2,631 111 Kilkenny 1,668 1,251 53 Waterford 929 697 29 Wexford 6,934 5,201 218 South Tipperary 1,314 986 41 Total 14,353 10,766 452 6.8.2. Bioethanol from Sugar Beet Should a bioethanol plant be developed within the State then there would be a potential to continue growing sugar beet for the production of bioethanol. Table 6.13 explores the energy potential if 50% of the current area planted with sugar beet was to be retained as an energy crop.

6.8.3. Potential to Increase Willow/Miscanthus Production With the recent introduction of establishment grants for short rotation coppice (SRC) willow and miscanthus, there is a great incentive for farmers within the South-East to establish these crops for energy. Table 6.14 explores the potential energy that could be generated should 10% of the pasture land within the South-East be planted with SRC willow or miscanthus. The energy generation capacity of both crops is similar. Table 6.14: Potential Energy from Increased Willow/Miscanthus Production Pasture Land Willow/Miscanthus Yield (tonnes) Energy (ha) Note 1 Crop (ha) Note 2 Note 3 Potential (TJ) Note 4 South-East 372,200 37,220 372,200 6,700 Note 1 CSO data, 2004 Note 2 Assume 10% planting of SRC willow/miscanthus Note 3 Assume yield of 10 tonnes/ha Note 4 Assume energy content of 18 GJ/tonne( 31 ) 6.9. Application of Bioenergy Resources Figure 6.1 links the raw materials currently available in the South-East Region with the appropriate end-use sector: heat, electricity and transport. The proven and available conversion technologies which link these raw materials with the relevant end sector are discussed in Chapters 7 and 8.
