The Dublin demo site will concentrate on the Irishtown & Ringsend area designated as a ‘Decarbonising Zone’ (DZ). A DZ is a spatial area identified by the local authority, in which a range of climate mitigation action owners are identified to address local low carbon energy, greenhouse gas emission and climate needs to contribute to national climate action targets. The zone must consider the main projects that could be deliverable in terms of GHG reductions. At a minimum, these outcomes must be capable of meeting the Irish Government’s targets for carbon emissions reduction, a 51% reduction by 2030.

This zone is also located in a ‘Strategic Development and Regeneration Area’, which has obligatory objectives around regeneration, specifically on sustainable energy and climate change, as set out in the Dublin City Development plan. Dublin city is also on of the cities in EU Mission’s Net-Zero Cities initiative.
