Barryroe Offshore Energy is an Irish company with a controlling interest in a significant oil and gas discovery, in shallow water offshore West Cork. An appraisal program, necessary before field development can begin, awaits government approval. Barryroe Offshore Energy supports Government and EU policy in relation to tackling the challenges of climate change. Ireland’s commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 cannot be achieved without transition planning. Successful development of the Barryroe Field, in conjunction with industry and government, can contribute significantly to energy transition en route to a carbon neutral economy in Ireland.
