Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Agriculture: Discussion
Mr. Bill Callanan:
Our hedges are counted in the national inventory under grassland. The current stock, as it were, is accounted for under that category. I cannot comment on whether that will materially change in 2030 in terms of slicing them out. On the question of getting inventory credit in terms of additionality associated with hedges, whether it is management or improved or increased length of hedges, we are putting the work in place at the moment to at least be able to quantify that.
