Gas Networks Ireland's Vision 2050: Discussion
Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
Gas Networks Ireland will not be using ryegrass, per se. Mr. O'Sullivan believes the fertilisers from the digester would be sufficient to get these ryegrass monocultures that we have working. We are still left with ryegrass monoculture.
I have one other point on this, and I apologise to the Chair for taking up so much time. I refer to the SEAI's assessment that the new European directives on how much greenhouse abatement gas one has to have from that process. It says that none of the current grass-growing systems would meet these new European targets. Is it wrong or right?
