Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Mr. Tom Donnellan:
We wish to buy it from wherever is the best source of sustainable biomass. That may include America, but we are not targeting it because there are many issues with importing biomass from there due to the need to sanitise it. The programme to which the Deputy refers was to import pellets, but they will not burn in the power station. America is probably the least likely place from which we will import biomass.
