Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Biomethane Renewable Gas: Discussion

Mr. Declan Murray:

One interesting thing about the Roscommon plant is that we were told, when we initially started to operate there, that it would be quite difficult because it was so rural. The exact opposite has been the case. We have identified locally almost all the expertise we require, from bringing feedstock in, sourcing feedstock, keeping the plant operational, staffing the plant, getting our digestate out to farmers, doing all the technical user management plans and so on. All our electrical and engineering contractors are local. We have not felt issues.
