Mr. Declan Murray:

Where community heating is successful from the AD point of view, it is carried out with waste heat from combined heat and power, CHP, engines. The future will be in producing the biomethane, that is, the renewable gas, which will not have a heat element in the sense of a waste heat element, so community heating would not be there. Leading on from the Deputy's last question and some of the answers there, I have heat available in Roscommon and would love to use it, but I am too far away.
