Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Hydraulic Fracturing Exploration: Discussion

Dr. Paul Deane:

That is correct, in the absence of piping or shipping that carbon dioxide. Explorations are taking place. For example, research that is taking place in Europe at the moment is looking at the piping and shipping of carbon dioxide to places like Norway, where it would be put into geological storage. That option is being considered.
