SUMMARY:Irish Gas Forum 2019
DESCRIPTION:Decarbonising Ireland’s gas network\nThe Irish energy sector is undergoing a transition to a low carbon future. Although much of the focus to date has been on electricity there is now a need to move the policy debate towards the transition of Ireland’s natural gas network to low carbon gas sources. There are an emerging number of elements to the decarbonisation of the natural gas infrastructure including biomethane injection\, carbon capture and storage and power-to-gas hydrogen technologies. This transition will likely be accelerated by the next policy milestone that will be the EU’s Gas Package which is currently being formulated and should be finalised by the new Commission in spring 2020. It is expected that the Package will include targets for the per centage of renewable gas in gas networks. \n  \nThe objective of this conference is to look at the options for decarbonisation and how they might be applied in an Irish context.

SUMMARY:Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt
DESCRIPTION:The objective of this programme is to provide participants with a detailed overview of how standardisation\, monitoring and problem solving are used practically to fix issues and ensure the organisation’s targets are achieved. This course is split into three main sections: \n6S and Visual Management – This module initially looks at 6S in the context of an overall Visual Management Framework and describes how it offers very real and measurable benefits to organisations which successfully implement it. Having overviewed 6S\, the module introduces the students to a variety of methods used for visual management in a lean environment. \nPIT Process – The name “PIT” is an acronym drawn from three words “Performance”\, “Issues” and “Targets”. PIT is a quick\, daily production focused review aimed at ensuring that the agreed production target for an area is achieved consistently. The PIT process is at the heart of the healthy functioning of any operation\, continuously monitoring performance and taking immediate action where necessary to counteract risks. \nProblem Solving – Covers the underlying concepts behind Lean problem solving\, Root Cause Analysis and the application of the DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyse-Improve-Control) cycle in implementation of solutions. It includes detail on the most commonly used problem-solving tools such as Five Whys and Ishikawa’s Seven problem solving tools\, and emphasises the A3 process as a problem solving methodology.

SUMMARY:Irish Gas Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Irish energy sector is undergoing a transition to a low carbon future. Although much of the focus to date has been on electricity there is now a need to move the policy debate towards the transition of Ireland’s natural gas network to low carbon gas sources. There are an emerging number of elements to the decarbonisation of the natural gas infrastructure including biomethane injection\, carbon capture and storage and power-to-gas hydrogen technologies. This transition will likely be accelerated by the next policy milestone that will be the EU’s Gas Package which is currently being formulated and should be finalised by the new Commission in spring 2020. \nThe objective of this conference is to look at the options for decarbonisation and how they might be applied in an Irish context. Key topics to be discussed include: \n\nThe rationale for decarbonising the gas network;\nEconomics of decarbonising the heat and transport sectors;\nUK plans for its gas network;\nBiomethane injection into the gas network;\nThe future role of hydrogen;\nThe potential for CCS to achieve a zero-carbon gas network.
