An updated and original diagram for 2007 can be seen on
http://www.sei.ie/Publications/Statistics_Publications/EPSSU_Publications/Energy_in_Ireland_Key_Statistics/Energy_in_Ireland_Key_Statistics_2008.pdf pg. 7

But how in sam hall did they make this ? E-sankey doesn’t seem to do 3-d, I suspect that a graphic artist was behind it all.

I was contacted by the creator of this diagram a while back and he sent me some samples, because he made that diagram with the help of the old SankeyHelper v1.0 from 1999 (http://www.doka.ch/sankey1.htm). I could hardly believe it. Now, I don’t want you to get any ideas, SH1 isn’t as fancy as this picture suggests. SH1 is very basic and the author did a lot of editing in Adobe Illustrator, while maintaining the rather rigid layout principles of SH1 (He did eventually switch to the more recent SH v2 see http://www.doka.ch/sankey.htm). Still it’s an extraordinary example what a dedicated user can accomplish even with limited means.
