Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Hydraulic Fracturing Exploration: Discussion
Dr. Paul Deane:
I will do my best to answer those questions as succinctly as I can. I refer to UK fracked gas coming into Ireland. The UK has imported a number of LNG shipments from the US in the past number of months, which get diluted in the general gas mix. We import significant volumes of gas from the UK. That is the point I was making. I was not necessarily referring to indigenous UK fracked gas, but gas that comes into the UK via LNG. It is worth noting that LNG imports from the US into the UK are small in comparison with imports from Qatar, Russia, and other countries.
