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.

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Policy (24 Mar 2021)

Eamon Ryan: The Programme for Government sets out that as Ireland moves towards carbon neutrality, it does not make sense to develop LNG projects importing fracked gas. It further commits to ensuring the Shannon LNG project is not included in the EU Projects of Common Interest list in 2021.

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: EU Issues (10 Nov 2020)

Eamon Ryan: The Programme for Government sets out that, as Ireland moves towards carbon neutrality, it does not make sense to develop LNG terminals that import fracked gas. If the Shannon LNG terminal project were to apply for inclusion in the 2021 list of EU Projects of Common Interest, Ireland would not provide the required Member State approval and therefore the project would not be included in the...

Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Revised) (20 Apr 2021)

Eamon Ryan: I do not see us having LNG terminals. I will have to check the programme for Government, but I think it was specific in referring to imported fracked gas. It is very difficult when one gets into the subject given some of the technical aspects involved in terms of how one can be certain about the source of certain gas. Similar to the electricity grid network, when one is importing...

Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (9 Jul 2021)

Eamon Ryan: This is a significant issue. We lived up to our commitments in the programme for Government. We issued the policy statement that put a hold on the development of any LNG terminals pending an energy security review. That is the appropriate approach to take. I cannot accept these amendments. I do not believe they would be effective. They would need to be redrafted. It is difficult with...
