Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
Yes, because we are not meeting the targets. Sequestration will also involve better management of certain kinds of land. For example, there could be land on the margins of bogs which might have to be managed less intensively. There are certain types of mineral soils which may have to be drained. That will contribute to sequestration. The third leg of the stool is the contribution agrifood can make on the replacement of fossil fuels with renewables.
