Mr. Tobin has talked about the Atlantic green energy test site off Mayo as a possible base for a centre for a demonstrator site of scale. He also mentioned, quite interestingly, that by 2040 this whole sector will need 86,000 full-time additional employees, which is amazing, and these will be very highly-trained technical people which is really exciting. He talked about the hydrogen strategy and the use of offshore wind to generate hydrogen. The integrated energy parks were also mentioned. The report is so interesting and good that this committee could spend an entire day discussing it. I wish to ask about sustainable aviation fuels, which were also mentioned. The aviation sector has been criticised heavily for emissions. How far are we away from having sustainable aviation fuels?
