Ms Karen Doyle:

Absolutely. Commercially, however, that would play out. While we feel, as part of the study we carried out, that we can deliver 20%, not all those 20% of plants will be capable of being built because some of them will be competing for feedstock. Commercially, that will play out. Not every plant that we want to build will be able to be built because the feedstocks will not be available.

Moreover, in the strategy, it will be probably prudent to look at policy relating to how much land we want to put into use for the growing of specific product for biomethane. That will protect our use of land and what the best use of that land could be. For us, the strategy is a critical point to make sure we have learnings from throughout Ireland, such as the positives from Denmark, perhaps some of the not-so-positives from Germany and what we are seeing across Italy and France, in particular, at the moment. That needs to be baked into the strategy to make sure we do this right and have good engagement on planning with our communities such that there will be community gain as well. We are very encouraged by the fact the strategy is going to be consulted in, we hope, quarters 2 and 3 of this year, but that is where we need to get this right and ensure there will be no unintended consequences, as the Deputy suggested.
