Moneypoint slashed its emissions by 24% last year. It comes as the Kilrush facility has commenced the process of converting from a coal fired to a heavy-fuel oil plant. Moneypoint is due to operate as a back-up electricity supplier to the national grid until 2029, before its transition to a green renewable energy hub thereafter. Futureproof Clare Spokesperson Dr Sinéad Sheehan says the emissions cuts are hugely beneficial for the locality.
