Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food
Anaerobic Digestion: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Seán Kinsella:
Ultimately, what these developers need to get these plans built and for their business model to stack up is the renewable heat obligations scheme, RHO, which will place a demand on fuel suppliers to procure this type of fuel. They need it for their business model. The RHO should be implemented in 2026. What we see now is movement in relation to these plans being developed. We see a ramp up; we expect that to ramp up even more next year.
