Fair enough. Mr. O'Sullivan is probably right on that figure and I do not meant to correct him. However, we discussed specifically last week the emissions from fracked gas from North America, which is what Shannon LNG intends to import. The evidence Professor Howarth gave seems to contradict what Mr. O'Sullivan is saying. The professor indicated that emissions are extremely high and that the fracking process in North America probably accounts for more than 30% of all methane emissions across the planet. In its Vision 2050 document, did GNI take account of the project of common interest, PCI, listed project for fracked gas in Shannon? Have the witnesses thought about that and factored it into their graph of how things might look in 2050?
