I know other witnesses may want to speak but that comes to my next question. I guess that is an important question for the IFA. Mr. McCarthy said it would be one third agriculture and two thirds energy. In essence, many of the feedstocks and inputs to anaerobic digestion would come from agriculture. Do the witnesses feel like a greater proportion of the emissions savings from the technology should be apportioned to agriculture to meet emissions targets?
