Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Anaerobic Digestion: Discussion
Mr. P.J. McCarthy:
It is factored into the recent sustainability of feedstock report from KPMG-Devenish. The report was commissioned by Gas Networks Ireland, GNI, and Teagasc and we are party to that study. Certainly, yes, that is sustainable. The MaREI report suggesting 18 TWh potential was a separate report. It was highlighting the opportunities that we can pursue with other innovative technologies we can add once we have a national network. We do not have to keep growing more facilities but utilise the existing facilities with innovative technologies.
