Blockchain for the Environment: Open Interdisciplinary Education on Generating Disruptive Change through Impactful DLT Applications

[Roisin Lyons @RoLyonz]

Brilliant student presentations on the use of blockchain to aid collection and dissemination of microplastics data - relating to the @UL Shannon case supplied by Dr. Michela Ottaviani - @bc4eco on Friday.

Fun fact: Did you know that the turbine installation on campus was actually used in the Ardnacrusha Hydroelectric Plant?

Just one of the many awesome works of public art on display across the UL campus

This is the headrace canal that brings abstracted water from the Lower River Shannon Special Area of Conservation (SAC) at Parteen Regulating Weir to Ardnacrusha Hydroelectric Station. It is approximately 12km long and can carry up to 400 cubic meters of water per second. Yesterday, 95.2% of the flow in the SAC was being abstracted. This abstracted water fuels the hydroelectric station. Downstream of Ardnacrusha, the water is returned to the SAC via a 2km tailrace. Migrating fish follow this water to the turbines; however, there are no bypasses or screens. Upstream-migrating fish also follow the water into the tailrace canal and become trapped below the hydroelectric station. Over 15km of the Natura 2000 river is affected by this unsustainable abstraction. Yesterday, less than 5% of the water entering the SAC boundary at Killaloe reached the “Falls of Doonass” at Castleconnell. It is not acceptable that @ESBGroup continues to manage this scheme in the same way as they did in the 1930s.

For years we relied on the power of the turbines at Ardnacrusha to power the electrification of our country. Now we go to our seas - to the power of our Atlantic wind. The green revolution has already started. But we have to move even faster - starting right here in the West.
