Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action
Exploring Technologies and Opportunities to Reduce Emissions in the Agriculture Sector: Discussion
Mr. Paul Price:
No. In terms of the greenhouse gases in Ireland and their warming effect, if we cut methane it would be a very big mitigation opportunity. We do not have to cut all of it. We and UCC have looked at meeting the Paris goal equitably for Ireland, and that involves a 50% reduction in methane from Ireland. It is a very big mitigation opportunity.
