Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Mr. Tom Donnellan:
Over the next ten years, as we co-fire, we will need approximately 1.3 million tonnes, some 400,000 tonnes of which will be indigenous, that is, sourced in Ireland. We believe we can grow that over the next three or four years to approximately 600 tonnes. In the region of 50% of the biomass will need to be imported.
