Gas Networks Ireland's prediction of abated natural gas accounting for 50% of total gas production by 2050 is totally reliant on carbon capture and storage. The witnesses are saying that the technology is proven, well established and being used to great effect elsewhere. I have seen evidence to the contrary. Are we making ourselves reliant on a technology that has been achieved or one that may be achieved somewhere in the future?
