Gas Networks Ireland's Vision 2050: Discussion
Mr. Denis O'Sullivan:
Certainly. Within the Vision 2050 document, we have set out targets not just for 2050 but also for 2030, in line with and complementary to the climate action plan. We have been open in our view that with the correct supports in place, 20% of the gas on our network could be from renewable sources by 2030. There is a trajectory and profile required to get us there but, given the research we have done, the availability of feedstocks and the level of interest in the industry on both the production and the demand sides, we are confident that this is an achievable target.
