Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Professor Mark Ferguson:

I can pick up on the first question. I recommend that the committee talk to Professor Murray Hitzman, who is the director of iCRAG. Rehydrating bogs is a most effective way of capturing carbon. Basically, the plant takes CO2 out of the environment. It does not decay properly so all the CO2 is trapped in the bog. There are people looking very actively at this, and iCRAG is working very closely with Bord na Móna. I will hand over to my colleagues for the other questions.
