I join in welcoming our guests. As I was voting in the Seanad, I am not sure if this has been touched on. My understanding is the transport sector is the great "offender", if I may use that term, with regard to emissions and it is a very difficult area. There is a reference to the proposal to limit support for biomass in new electricity generation to highly efficient combined heat and power, which requires careful consideration. Will the witnesses elaborate on what is involved in that? Why is there a limit to supporting biomass?
