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:
At the same time, if CO2 emissions are not cut, they will be accumulated. If we cut methane emissions, we will reduce the volume of methane, which has a very big temperature effect. This can be seen in the Climate Change Advisory Council, CCAC, report and its Paris test indicates the biggest effect is by cutting methane. The biggest contribution to that in Ireland is agricultural methane.
