Heads of Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2013: Discussion (Resumed)

1:55 pm

Ms Anja Murray:

It depends on the state of the peat bog, specifically the level of degradation. In the case of a cutover bog, for example, where there is very little peat layer remaining, one would seek to cap emissions. If a bog is capable of proper restoration to an active bog, the greenhouses gases can be stored as the bog starts to grow. My colleague, Ms Caoimhe Muldoon, might expand on that.
