Mr. Barry Caslin:

I thank the Deputy for the question. He mentioned land use change and fugitive emissions. There are concerns regarding new plants that will be built over the coming years. Approximately 200 plants will be required, depending on the size of those plants, which are generally between 20 GWh and 40 GWh. If we look at the Continent, there is a different approach where it has been a CHP rather than a biomethane approach. Our journey of travel appears to be more down the biomethane route of upgrading biogas to biomethane and injecting that gas into the national gas grid. There may be opportunities for farmers to use some biomethane on farms, possibly using it for their tractors in future.
