Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

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

12:30 pm

Professor Brian Ó Gallachóir:

It is not in what I have shown. We have done some analysis on the electric vehicle, EV, measure in the national development plan, NDP, which is getting 500,000 EVs by 2030. That would give us about two million tonnes, which would be the same amount as if 2% of gas going through the pipeline came from biogas. If we start that in 2021 and have it as a fixed amount from 2021 to 2030, it would give us an amount similar to the target of 500,000 EVs. It is because of this thing. It is a carbon budget so the EVs will contribute far more in 2030 but over the period, it is a reduced amount.
