Gas Networks Ireland's Vision 2050: Discussion

Mr. Denis O'Sullivan:

I would be happy to do so. We have done the research and have engaged with the experts in this area, including Teagasc and other agencies in terms of the feedstock and feedstock availability. In terms of the volume, the SEAI itself has a higher figure than ours as to the potential for renewable gas in Ireland. The European Commission conducted its own assessment and pointed to Ireland as having the highest potential in Europe for renewable gas production from agriculture.
