Aviva stadium, home of the Ireland rugby team will be fully powered by renewable energy for the upcoming 2016 Six Nations tournament, becoming the first stadium in the competition to be so. The stadium has teamed up with SSE Airtricity – Ireland’s largest provider of wind power – who will supply green electricity and gas. The move is expected to save almost 2,500 tonnes of carbon emissions in 2016 alone, equivalent to the fuel emitted by a jet circumnavigating the world 500 times or the carbon stored by 22 acres of mature rainforest.
