Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Biomethane Renewable Gas: Discussion

Mr. Declan Murray:

The easiest way to explain this is to say that for every 100,000 tonnes of material we take into our plant, I would expect somewhere around 85,000 tonnes of digestate to be available. Approximately 15% of dry matter is lost during the gas conversion process because it must come from somewhere.
