Huge thank you to Inigo Iribarren for his work on this new poster highlighting the ground breaking and historical contributions Ireland has made towards Green Energy over the past 100 years. It starts with the building of Ardnacrusha hydro power station in 1929, through to the hugely important pumped storage station at Turlough Hill and also includes more recent developments such as the hydrogen powered buses which are running in Dublin, and built in Co. Antrim. Printed versions of this poster are given to all schools after each workshop we run, and we have A1 and A0 size versions available.
We also handed out about 100 copies at the ISTA conference in Limerick, and another 100 at the Cork Carnival of Science. We have a few hundred left for upcoming events and if you haven’t got one yet come find us at the ChemEd-Ireland conference in Trinity in October for another chance to grab one.
Also, over the summer of 2023, while many of us enjoyed some well deserved time off, we embarked on a little project to translate the poster into Irish. Huge thanks to Niamh O’Shea at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) for translating the poster into Irish. We will now do a short print run of the Irish language version for anyone who wants it and once we run out of English language ones, we will print double sided versions with English on one side and Irish on the other. Both versions are freely available to download below as PDFs.
