Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Policy (25 Jan 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Paul Murphy: The Minister, the leader of the Green Party, is saying he is in favour of this. An LNG terminal is an LNG terminal. Okay, it is a floating LNG terminal rather than an LNG terminal on land. The Minister may say this will not lead to any more reliance on fossil fuels and so on, but I do not understand why that would be that the case. The energy security review explicitly states that this...

Written Answers — Energy Resources: Energy Resources (26 Jan 2010)

Eamon Ryan: ...gas consumed in the EU comes from sources outside Europe. A key security of supply imperative for Europe is to ensure diversification of supply routes and sources of gas. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) increasingly is a component of this strategy as Member States work to diversify supply sources and routes. LNG imports account for approximately 15% of the total EU gas market and currently...

Eamon Ryan: ...with the current recession's depressive impact on demand, is expected to contribute to a glut of gas supply in the next few years. This new gas supply has driven down US prices and reduced LNG imports to the U.S., which in turn have become available and increased supply in other markets. A key security of supply imperative for the EU, where over half of the gas consumed is from sources...

I have been informed by the Port of Cork that it is not currently entering into a joint venture with any company to import liquefied natural gas (LNG). The Port of Cork has, however, confirmed that it has entered into a Non Disclosure Agreement with NextDecade, a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) development company focused on LNG export...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources: Energy Production (28 Apr 2015)

Alex White: Both I and Government colleagues have consistently been supportive of the proposal by Shannon LNG to construct a LNG terminal near Ballylongford, County Kerry. The LNG facility would provide additional security of supply to Ireland in that it would bring diversity to Ireland's supply sources and would bring connectivity for the first time to the global LNG market. Such a facility would be a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Dr. Paul McGowan: Forgive me if I repeat myself. I go back to something I said in a previous appearance before this committee. When we talk about LNG, we are talking about gas security of supply and ensuring we have a secure transition to a zero-carbon future. This is the context within which we talk about LNG. We want a debate on the role of LNG in how Ireland secures its energy future...

Eamon Ryan: Shannon LNG received planning permission in 2008 for their proposed development of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) re-gasification facility near Ballylongford in County Kerry. The necessary consent for construction of a gas pipeline between the LNG terminal and the Irish gas transmission system was granted last year by the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER). The CER has also approved a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Liquefied Natural Gas and Oil Prospecting: Discussion (30 May 2023)

Brian Leddin: I have one question of my own on the characteristic of LNG. As I understand it, LNG cannot be stored for any great length of my time. Is it true that countries which are building LNG facilities are not really building it for storage? It is certainly not for medium- or long-term storage; it is for very short-term storage. The only way LNG can really work is if it operates in the commercial...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (23 Jun 2021)

Mick Barry: The Taoiseach needs to ban LNG projects. All such projects are meant to be frozen pending an energy supply review. That decision came about under pressure from environmental campaigners and as a result of the growing awareness of the link between LNG and fracked gas and the extreme danger posed to our environment by fracking. However, the wheels have not stopped turning. We learned last...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (10 Jul 2019)

Richard Bruton: Individual applications are matters for the planning authorities. On the wider issue of whether LNG could contribute to energy security, there is no doubt that as we move away from and close down peat and coal production, security of supply of gas will become an issue. LNG is one of the options put forward to deal with energy security. Having access to LNG supplies also has support...

John Brassil: ...EirGrid and possibly Professor John FitzGerald, who sat on the Irish Energy Research Council and is an independent assessor of our energy needs. The majority of our guests are not in favour of the LNG facility. For balance, I must point to some statements made by what I consider relevant bodies. The Irish Academy of Engineering's report on the security of Ireland's gas supply of July...
