Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Sectoral Emissions Ceilings: Discussion

Mr. Marc Kierans:

The Climate Action Plan 2021 sets out the ambition, the actions, the core measures and further measures for agriculture, as well as all other sectors. The further measures involve looking at greater intensification of anaerobic digestion and greater rates of afforestation. I do not have the data to say at what points along that scale that ambition arises. At the moment these are measures that would take place in certain scenarios. Again, I will defer to my colleagues in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to explain how they see themselves achieving these targets.
