Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Renewable Energy Directive: Discussion
4:00 pm
Dr. Eugene Hendrick:
It is not good practice to use a tonne of carbon twice. The tonne of carbon used for compliance is used to make us compliant with our target. It is not good practice to use that same tonne again in an offsetting market. It is better to use it just once to make a compliance amount.
