Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food
Anaerobic Digestion: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Seán Finan:
There is an animal byproducts register. I looked it up in preparation for our opening statement. There are currently 15 plants with an animal byproducts regulation licence in the country. There is a wide variety of other facilities using anaerobic digestion technology, but they might be in wastewater treatment and other areas.
It is either 14 or 15 biogas plants that need an animal byproducts regulation licence. That would be the official record or list of plants.
