National Oil Reserves Agency (Amendment) and Provision of Central Treasury Services Bill 2020: From the Seanad (22 Jul 2020)

Eamon Ryan: ...connection between Irish Water and NORA which are separate entities. The only connection being the services provided to both by the NTMA. Both are fully independent. As to the development of a floating LNG import terminal in Cork Harbour, I read a detailed summation from an Irish company recently with interest. That technology has taken off in different places around the world,...

Seanad: National Oil Reserves Agency (Amendment) and Provision of Central Treasury Services Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (17 Jul 2020)

Eamon Ryan: ...to gas exploration as well as oil exploration. Similarly, there is an agreement in the programme for Government that we will remove from the projects of common interest, PCI, list items such as LNG terminal applications and that the Department will issue a policy statement which makes it clear that this is not the future direction in which the country is going. Instead, we are going to...

National Oil Reserves Agency (Amendment) and Provision of Central Treasury Services Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Jul 2020)

Eamon Ryan: ...I would love to include it in the climate Bill. That would give us an extra €10 million to put into such projects, which is why I propose doing it in that way. Deputy Michael Collins referred to LNG. The €1.85 trillion investment plan at which Europe is looking rightly says that the fuel of the future will be green hydrogen. This is only starting and will take some...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Climate Action Plan (15 Jul 2020)

Eamon Ryan: ...from the old baseline level, which everyone agrees now needs to be increased. The Deputy also referred to offshore oil and gas exploration, and I would include imports of liquefied natural gas, LNG. We have to achieve that objective at the same time. Critically, I agree with the Deputy on that central fact. I will also seek to call the Cabinet environment committee the committee on...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Policy (15 Jul 2020)

Eamon Ryan: ...of what, if any, legislation will be required. The Programme for Government also states that, as Ireland moves towards carbon neutrality, it does not make sense to allow liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals which import fracked gas and that accordingly the Shannon LNG terminal should not be included in the 2021 list of EU Projects of Common Interest. If this project were to apply for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Hydraulic Fracturing Exploration: Discussion (9 Oct 2019)

Eamon Ryan: ...seek to achieve the net zero target by 2030. I mention that as an example of how people are upping the ante in this regard. I have referred to the application of CCS. I understand a floating LNG terminal is now being considered. The idea might be to attach it to a combined cycle gas plant. I assume it would be argued that this would be CCS-compatible. Is that a fair assumption?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Hydraulic Fracturing Exploration: Discussion (9 Oct 2019)

Eamon Ryan: That would result in an argument about the use of LNG in Cork. I would be opposed to that as well. I was interested in the analysis that in the event of a gas shut-off from Norway, Russia or Algeria, we would have a ten-month security window. Was an analysis conducted on our own gas interconnectors with the UK? It has been proposed that reverse gas flows on the Moffat interconnector could...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Hydraulic Fracturing Exploration: Discussion (9 Oct 2019)

Eamon Ryan: I understand the LNG terminal originally died a death because it did not make economic sense. The grid cost associated with the terminal made it uneconomic. I do not know whether this has been analysed. Perhaps Professor Howarth might have an analysis he can present in this respect. My understanding is that consideration is being given to the application of a new floating terminal, rather...

Development of a Liquefied Natural Gas Facility in Ireland: Statements (3 Oct 2019)

Eamon Ryan: ...Europe. The UK is also exposed because its security of supply depends on gas imports from the Continent. For this reason, I do not buy the argument on security. Having observed the proposed LNG project over the years, I understood that it was dead in the water years ago because there is no economic case for it. I recall that the regulator made various calls related to the allocation...

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

Eamon Ryan: There two proposals for liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminals in Shannon and Cork. I was interested in finding out the Government's position with regard to supporting that. Did President Trump raise the issue during the Taoiseach's recent discussions with him in Doonbeg in Clare? Have there been any meetings involving other representatives of the US Government? Have there been any...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Policy (25 Jun 2019)

Eamon Ryan: ...for Communications, Climate Action and Environment his views on the importation of fracked gas from the United States of America; and if measures will be taken to have liquified natural gas, LNG, from fracked sources removed from the EU projects of common interest list in view of climate change commitments and in view of the commitment to ban fracking. [26918/19]

Report of Joint Committee on Climate Action: Motion (9 May 2019)

Eamon Ryan: ...and then say in the next breath that we are going to allow offshore oil and gas exploration. We cannot declare a climate emergency and say in the next breath that we are going to bring in liquid natural gas, LNG, or fracked gas from the USA. We have to make fundamental and radical changes and we can do that as a country. We can power this country with renewable wind, solar, biomass and...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Fossil Duel Divestment Bill 2016 [Private Members]: Committee Stage (19 Apr 2018)

Eamon Ryan: ...fact that we are building new gas networks in the midlands is one of the examples of how this Government does not get climate change. The fact that the Government is even considering a liquified natural gas, LNG, terminal in Shannon and in Cork is an indication that it does not get it. I am sorry about that. The Government is not part of the new clean energy revolution. It is doing...

Eamon Ryan: 794. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment his views on whether it is appropriate to support new investment in natural gas pipelines, fuelling facilities, LNG terminals, power stations and so on here to facilitate the use of natural gas as a bridge fuel towards full energy system decarbonisation; the scientific advice sought as to bridging process; and if no...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: 2020 Climate and Energy Package: Discussion (27 Feb 2018)

Eamon Ryan: ...be facing a future where our gas supply is restricted to a renewable supply by 75% for climate change reasons, how is it that Ervia is expanding its gas network now? Why are we looking at two new LNG terminals in Shannon and Cork, which I can only presume is to import American fracked gas, which is a threat to climate? Why is Ervia talking about new gas-fired power stations? How can...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Policy (20 Feb 2018)

Eamon Ryan: 478. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if his Department is considering carrying out an overall assessment of the environmental impacts of importing LNG gas; if so, the details of the consultation process; and the mechanisms that members of the public can utilise to appeal such a process.

Written Answers — Energy Storage: Energy Storage (12 Oct 2010)

Eamon Ryan: ...prudent, in light of our dependence on gas imported from the UK, to seek to reduce our reliance on this source. In this regard, the question of gas storage, including Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), is being considered on an All Island basis. My Department is working with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment in Northern Ireland, and energy Regulators North and South, to...

Written Answers — Planning Issues: Planning Issues (29 Jun 2010)

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...

Written Answers — Energy Resources: Energy Resources (1 Jun 2010)

Eamon Ryan: ...with the UK, gas storage has an important role to play in contributing to enhanced gas security for the island of Ireland. The Report on an all-Island Common Approach to Gas Storage and LNG reinforces the case for additional storage facilities. The existing commercial gas storage facility at Kinsale has the capacity to hold 198 million cubic metres. Licensed for use by Bord Gáis...

Written Answers — Energy Resources: Energy Resources (27 Apr 2010)

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...
