    Dublin could reduce emissions by switching technologies, study finds

    DUBLIN COULD become a green, energy-efficient city by switching to currently available technologies in a series of moves which would largely pay for themselves, a new study on the capital's carbon emissions has concluded.

    More from The Irish Times.

    The study which ranked potential CO2 abatement measures in terms of effectiveness and cost, found the most effective would be the generation of renewable electricity. This was followed by retro-fitting buildings to make them more energy efficient, while in third place was the completion of Transport 21.
    Weird, renewable generation ranked above increasing energy efficiency in effectiveness, first time I've seen that.
