Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action
Exploring Technologies and Opportunities to Reduce Emissions in the Agriculture Sector: Discussion
Mr. Michael Earls:
With regard to monitoring emissions and obtaining the numbers we are talking about, we have invested heavily in the state-of-the-art equipment that gives us those numbers. We are the only ones in the country other than Teagasc with equipment that can do this. We rely on the figures coming back from Wageningen University and Research, the Netherlands, with which we have been working for the past ten or 11 years. The figures we are giving are primarily independent, not ours, but we have the figures to back them up.
