Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Draft National Energy and Climate Plan: Discussion

Dr. Orla Kelleher:

Within the current draft, there is mention of developing a strategy about negative emissions technologies in carbon capture and storage. However, it does not give any sort of timeline as to when that is going to be developed and when we can expect it. That makes the process of engaging very difficult because we do not have a sense of how much we will rely on these technologies. That has a big intergenerational injustice.
