Mr. Se?n Finan:

Potentially, if the slurry is taken off farms, it would come off their calculations. We have, though, come across this particular problem on our EIP project, in one case, where we were exploring if we could bring in some additional feedstock to make up for a lack of it on that specific farm. We were not able to do so because that farm was stocked at the 170 kg limit in respect of its livestock loading intensity. A regulatory perspective is needed to look at this aspect to consider what can be done to ensure digestate can displace chemical fertiliser because currently the regulations, in our opinion, preclude this from being the case.
