On using gas generated from anaerobic digestion as renewable energy to create electricity, I recently visited an anaerobic digestion plant in Timoleague where it has been estimated that over the ten years it has been there, it has saved about 1 million tonnes of carbon. It also generates enough power for about 1,000 homes. Surely there are emission reduction benefits there.
