Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (19 May 2021)

Bríd Smith: ...although I would love to be in a position to welcome the announcement yesterday by the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Eamon Ryan, on behalf of the Government on LNG, I fear that like the EU, the Government is speaking out of both sides of its mouth. The Government tells us that it cannot ban fracked gas because it is an EU-wide issue. It says it is...

Michael Healy-Rae: ..., be brought before the House? Yesterday, the Minister, Deputy Denis Naughten, met with a deputation.

At the meeting of 4 October 2019 which considered the 4th PCI list, Ireland enquired from the EU Commission whether the implications of importing LNG to the European Union, from conventional and unconventional fracked sources, have been examined in terms of a sustainable, secure and competitive European energy policy.

Alice-Mary Higgins: In one of those caveats, Professor FitzGerald mentioned that natural gas is a suitable alternative back-up technology. However, we are now looking at importing LNG and, wherever emissions happen, they affect the global emissions piece. The Professor will know that if that becomes a project of common interest, PCI, it will come with expectations, for example for higher priority access to the...

Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (3 Jun 2021)

Bríd Smith: This amendment is in recognition of the campaigning done up and down the country against liquified natural gas, LNG, of which the Minister is aware. This is a recognition that it is a very important issue. I am aware that we will deal with it in the rapporteur's report and we will have a different conversation about it in the committee, but we need to deal with it in the Bill. We must...

He has auctioned off 73 million acres of water in the Gulf of Mexico for offshore oil and gas drilling and he has signed off on another liquified natural gas, LNG, project in Alaska.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)

Brian Leddin: On LNG, I do not know of any serious investigation of that subject that RTÉ has done. LNG is not suitable for medium- or long-term storage of energy, and that has never come through RTÉ's coverage. It has always been about the political divide or who wants it and who does not want it. If experts are asked, they will say it does not make sense for Ireland, but that is not coming...

Denis Naughten: ...gas from the UK. The Oxford Institute report goes on to say that, if the existing arrangements with the UK, which is the cheapest way to provide security of supply to Irish consumers, are not preserved, an LNG regasification terminal might be needed. I agree that the potential benefits of importing LNG directly onto the island of Ireland, and also the role of natural gas storage, should...

Denis Naughten: .... While overall policy is a low carbon energy future, natural gas is a key part of the transition and potentially an important part of the low carbon economy.In this regard, all options, including LNG, would be given full consideration to ensure the best options at least cost for the consumer are identified.

...was made quite recently. The easiest way of handling hydrogen is in the form of ammonia. It is not a challenge to shipping to companies and is something they are well used to. They deliver LNG and oil around the world so this is just a different product. Converting a tanker from LNG to ammonia is minimal in terms of refurbishment or retrofit. The other issue to bear in mind is the...

If one examines the responses we received as part of our various consultation exercises, people agreed that there was a fear that gas tariffs would increase. As I stated, that was the basis for...
