Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

Professor Brian Ó Gallachóir:
We do not have biomass for power generation. We have a lot of bioenergy coming through in our analysis but, in the short term, that bioenergy is used for heat and for transport. In the long term, there may be a need for biomass with CCS in order to get negative emissions in electricity, depending on what can be done in the other sectors. It is important to clarify that on the record.
