Great to break bread with the circular economy energy & environmental systems (CEEES) researcher group to celebrate our three new PhDs:
Dr Benteng Wu
Dr Aoife Long
Dr Archishman Bose

My first introduction to the wonderful Paul Durcan, who passed today.
Who else but George Ivan Morrison could have brought this to music.

At those wireless knobs
Telefunken, Telefunken
And I'm searching for

The International Energy Agency has scheduled a Low-Emissions Gases Day to assess potential roles of #biomethane, low-emissions #hydrogen and e-methane.
Delighted to present on circular economy approaches to biogas

IEA Bioenergy Task 37 (Energy from Biogas) developed a case history showing the evolution of an integrated biorefinery complex in Varennes, Québec, Canada.
Since 2007, Greenfield Québec Inc. has been transforming locally grown grain corn into fuel-grade ethanol at its Varennes plant. Over the years, the site has evolved into an integrated biorefinery complex, with the SÉMECS - Société d'Économie Mixte de l'Est de la Couronne Sud (SÉMECS) inc. centre (commissioned in 2018) using anaerobic digestion to process organic waste and produce biogas. In 2024, its capacity expanded to 120,000 tonnes per year, further reducing the carbon intensity of ethanol production.
By 2027, the plant aims to eliminate fossil fuel use entirely. With upcoming plans to use biogenic CO₂ for methanol production, this project highlights how industrial innovation can create jobs, reduce emissions, and maximize resource recovery.

Our latest @MaREI paper published by @CellPressNews documents a two-phase anaerobic digestion system producing #bioproducts, and #biogas, using a demand-driven operational approach to match market conditions

My father in law passed this weekend at the grand age of 90. He played rugby for Munster, trained as an electrician, built up a firm of 300 electricians (Kirby Electrical employ c. 2500), retired at 60 & created a new life as an esteemed judge of terriers. Rest in peace Michael
Will present perspectives on the role of circular economy, energy and environmental systems in decarbonisation of hard to abate sectors Thursday 30th January in Boole 2 at 18:00 hours.
This is a Science in Society Public Lecture Series and open to all to attend.
My Dad won 4 Harty Cup medals with the Mon. One (or 2) were melted down for tabernacle in St Francis.
We have 2; 1942-43; 43-44.
My dad always called to school insisting the translation of my name Jeremiah is Diarmuid.
Great to see D Ó Murcada (our name) on these medals.

Let me disagree on your statement
If we don’t apply CfD financial privilege for PV and biogas (offshore wind need it) curtailment has to happen because isn’t an inefficiency
Here an utopian lecture of prof. Jerry @JerryDMurphy66 from Marei R&D Center

My music tastes are so last century.
Started the year in a 1920’s Jazz Saxophone Bebop phase (Bird and Dizzy);
Moved on to to a Mellow Rock Folkie Singer-Songwriter season (Tom & Van)
Finished off with some Speakeasy Harlem Renaissance Jazz (Miles and John)
The view from my new office.
Have joined @IEA on secondment from @UCC till end of year.
Exciting times furthering knowledge of economics of, and business cases for, #PowertoX and #biomethane
