Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Bill Callanan:

I cannot say it if was a cross-check but we have calculated the contribution in terms of emissions reductions, which will fall largely on the energy side. My recollection – I do not have the figure in front of me – is that the amount is 1.2 megatonnes. It is similar in agriculture. I am referring effectively to what is a diversification option in agriculture. I appreciate that I am not answering the question directly in terms of the carbon emissions factor associated with the production of biomethane but the contributions on the energy and agricultural sides have been calculated. These figures are stated in the climate plan.
