A computer model of the Irish economy was developed to simulate the economy’s transition from fossil fuel usage to renewable energy. The model was based on Slesser’s Energy and Capital Creation Options (ECCO) model. Some of the results from this work were presented in Before the Wells Run Dry, Ireland’s Transition to Renewable Energy. This was edited by Richard Douthwaite and published in 2003. The book is available to read for free online.
This project was enabled with assistance from the Department of the Environment.
