Mr. John Keane:

He was doing the green certificate at that stage.

We had a proposal in around anaerobic digestion and its integration into agriculture and agrifood systems so we have been a long-proponent of it; particularly in areas where farming can be challenging or a large amount of farms that are either vulnerable or unenviable as classified by national farm survey. This offers them an opportunity to be able to supply into these facilities. The realisation must also dawn and what we have seen on the Continent, is that for one of these digesters to work efficiently and effectively and to have a value for the owner as well as for the farmer, there is no point in leaving a field go at the end of August and not cutting it again until the following June. It is not getting the raw materials and energy that will give a good value and return from it. On the Continent they are feeding whole crops, the likes of grain, maize, high-quality silage and grass into the digesters as well as digestate, slurry and other materials. The digester needs a quality feed going into it. You need to be able to grow that to be able to supply it.
