Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Sectoral Emissions Ceilings: Discussion
Mr. Dale Crammond:
Mr. Callanan has covered everything. Teagasc is working hard. A lot of companies are working commercially, for example, Fonterra in New Zealand, is working with the company that produces 3-NOP, which is the most advanced feed additive. Teagasc is looking at it in the context of perhaps feeding it to cows when they are in the milking parlour in the morning to see what level of abatement we would get. We know we get 30% when we feed it in an indoor system of production and the question is what we can realistically achieve averaged out over the year when we include that period when animals are out on pasture. That is the key for us now.
