Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the use of peat as fuel, with a strong focus on its relevance to Ireland. Citing historical examples, the author points to the transformation of wastelands into productive soil in the Netherlands through the extraction and use of peat. The author draws parallels between Ireland and the Netherlands, highlighting the potential for the development of a substantial peat industry in Ireland given its vast peat resources, especially as Ireland currently faces a fuel crisis. The author advocates for the widespread production of ordinary cut turf as the most feasible means of increasing fuel supply and reducing reliance on expensive coal. While supporting continued research in dense turf manufacturing, the author emphasizes the importance of expanding ordinary turf production to alleviate the fuel crisis in the short term. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the potential of peat as a domestic fuel, particularly in the context of Ireland's historical and ongoing economic challenges.
