Brexit puts new pressure on Ireland to find and develop\u00a0its own\u00a0oil and gas supplies and reduce its reliance on British imports, the country\u2019s offshore\u00a0hydrocarbons industry\u00a0argues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ireland imports all of its oil and around a third of its natural gas – mostly from the UK – and the gas imports are set to rise as the country\u2019s offshore Corrib reserve\u00a0runs out over the next 12 years, according to the Irish Offshore Operators\u2019 Association (IOOA).<\/p>\n

Now, uncertainty around Britain’s future relationship with the EU is adding urgency to the industry’s calls for drilling and infrastructure projects that can bolster Ireland’s energy independence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIreland\u2019s geographical location at the edge of Europe makes us extremely vulnerable to any potential disruption to energy supplies,\u201d Pat Shannon, the IOOA\u2019s chairman, told Climate Home News. \u201cBrexit increases energy security concerns, and post-Brexit, Ireland will not have a direct connection to the main EU energy infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Irish energy<\/strong> industry calls for new links to Europe amid Brexit fears<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The association published a report<\/a>\u00a0in January highlighting Ireland\u2019s reliance on foreign oil and gas. It noted that even its biggest supplier, Britain, depends increasingly on imports from the European Union, Norway and Russia.<\/p>\n

A disruption in these energy supplies would\u00a0be costly for Ireland, the report warned. A year-long interruption of Russian gas to Europe would push up the country\u2019s gas prices by 23% and electricity prices by 15%, while a total blackout would cost around \u20ac850m per day.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping indigenous oil and gas would provide greater security of supply for Ireland in the context of global geopolitical uncertainty, including Brexit,\u201d Shannon said.<\/p>\n

The industry association has been discussing these risks with Ireland\u2019s local and national governments and other stakeholders since Britain\u2019s June 2016 referendum.<\/p>\n

Oil and gas explorers will “likely” drill at least one new well in the deep Irish waters this year, with more being prepared for 2020 and 2021, Shannon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIrrespective of the manner in which the UK departs from the European Union, IOOA believes it is vitally important for Ireland to secure its own indigenous energy supply as we transition to a low-carbon economy,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

Along with supply security, Shannon\u00a0points to one more upside to developing homegrown oil and gas: lower carbon dioxide emissions. Gas-fired power emits 67% less CO2 than peat and 61% less than coal, while oil emits 33% less than peat and 20% less than coal,\u00a0according to the IOOA report.<\/p>\n

That said, peat and coal only accounted for a combined 13% of Ireland\u2019s total energy use in 2017, while oil and gas dominated with 78%.<\/p>\n

New investment in domestic oil and gas would also put Dublin in an awkward position, after lawmakers\u00a0voted last summer<\/a> to make the country the first to fully divest its\u00a0sovereign wealth fund from fossil fuels. A cross-party parliamentary committee is now debating recommendations for broad new\u00a0policies to tackle climate change, as the country struggles to limit its emissions.<\/p>\n

The Irish Green Party’s leader, Eamon Ryan, dismissed the claims that the country needs domestic oil and gas.<\/p>\n

“This industry is like an addict, it just wants one last fix, and it will tell you anything and do anything and try anything to get that fix,” Ryan, a former energy and natural resources minister, told CHN. “They’re chasing the dragon, they’re chasing the wrong way. We should be using Irish waters to develop offshore wind farms… that’s what has to change to take the climate seriously, and Brexit is not going to change that one way or the other.”<\/p>\n

Brexit is not expected to immediately disrupt Ireland\u2019s oil, gas or electricity trade<\/a> with its neighbour, even if it\u2019s a hard, no-deal departure on 29 March.<\/p>\n

The World Trade Organization does not apply trade tariffs to power or crude oil, and only 0.7% to gas. Plus, Britain and Ireland also have bilateral agreements on their gas trade outside any EU arrangements, noted Paul Deane, an energy research fellow at University College Cork.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Brexit has \u201crefocused attention\u201d on Ireland\u2019s import reliance, Deane said. Wind and other renewables are growing,\u00a0but gas still covers about half the power demand.<\/p>\n

Brexit uncertainty is one factor that helped revive plans for the stalled \u20ac1 billion Shannon liquefied natural gas import terminal on Ireland’s west coast, when a US equity firm stepped in to buy\u00a0it last year.<\/p>\n

The project’s prospects are also boosted by the availability of new, cheaper technology to receive cargoes offshore rather than onshore, but its future now depends on the outcome of a legal challenge from environmental groups. The High Court is expected to decide on Friday whether the new owner can start building, or has to apply for new planning permits, or must drop the project entirely.<\/p>\n

Projects like this require swift decisions aimed at bolstering the country\u2019s energy security, the offshore operators\u2019 association argues.<\/p>\n

An earlier version of this article erroneously said Shannon LNG terminal was bought for \u20ac1 billion last year.
