Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Anaerobic Digestion: Discussion
Mr. P.J. McCarthy:
The climate action plan recognised biomethane as zero-emissions gas. The delay is in implementation. We need to accelerate and move quicker. Two key sectors account for most of our emissions, namely, agriculture and transport. There are over 100 actions in the climate action plan on agriculture. A takeaway from today is that we should concentrate for the next six to nine months on three areas: AD biomethane, carbon farming and forestry. That is it.
