There is massive increase in supply costs in 2030 (annualised system costs by sector), but one can't see in what - is it the backstop?
Are there electrolyser and biorefinery capacities reported? What about energy consumption in the power sector?

Suggest adding HVO import as drop-in alternative to all diesel, especially available for home heating (existing and new oil boilers) and HGVs. Price should be about double diesel (https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/companies/arid-40238078.html)

It looks like we are over-estimating the feasibility of CNG - full rollout of new refuelling infrastrucutre and supply chain for just one decade appears unlikely to me. Brian led a SEAI project on the future of freight, we should check with that team.

What is the rationale for high biomass use in services buildings post-2030? It is a relatively small share of total bioenergy use but I expect should instead look more like the residential sector

I.e. cumulative 2021-25, 2026-30 etc

Here: Ethanol Supply by Source

Check the setup of the scenario files please to make sure they both constrain the same overall CO2?

What is the rationale for new hydro capacity? I suggest removing new hydro tech.

600k fully biodiesel cars by 2030 is unlikely - no supply chain, refuelling infrastructure or vehicle models coming online. 100% pure EV by 2027. I suggest removing the technology
