Gas Networks Ireland's Vision 2050: Discussion
Mr. Brendan Murphy:
We have had a full study done on that pipeline and the expert view is that pipeline can last certainly for another 20 years plus. It is certainly usable at low pressure, which is the plan. The beauty of the Kinsale field is that it is a low-pressure field. The CO2 can be kept in gas form, which is much cheaper from a capex and opex point of view.
