Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Gas Networks Ireland's Vision 2050: Discussion (15 Oct 2019)

Timmy Dooley: ...scheme of things, I would have thought we should really push towards the hydrogen mix as a solution. Can the witnesses comment on that? This committee has discussed the liquefied natural gas, LNG, facility planned for Ballylongford. Gas Networks Ireland is to some extent responsible for energy security. Its representatives can take my previous remarks in that context. Based on Gas...

...where the feedstock comes from. We will facilitate it coming onto the network, as we do in the case of natural gas. Mr. Murphy might comment on the carbon capture and storage, CCS, costs. On LNG, any additional source will provide additional security of supply. Nevertheless, I remind the committee of our proposal in Vision 2050. Our dependence on natural gas will decrease as we...

David Cullinane: I welcome Mr. O'Sullivan and Mr. Murphy. Last week, for the hearing on the use of liquefied natural gas, LNG, there were a number of environmental experts before the committee who made the general point that we were swimming against the tide with the policy on the use of gas. There is an urgent need to address the issue of climate action and reduce carbon emissions. Obviously, therefore,...

David Cullinane: We are here to put the hard questions to our guests who are here to justify policy and investments the State might make. Why should the State invest in and support the use of either LNG or CNG when the debate and policy are shifting at EU level? Why should there be continued policy and investment support for a sector or an area which is obviously not seen as part of the solution, according...

Mr. Denis O'Sullivan: CNG and LNG are very different. In the case of CNG, one is taking gas from the network and compressing it in order that it will fit into a storage vessel that can be attached to a truck similar to its diesel tank. The benefits of CNG are quite obvious. In deploying it we do not need capital or any other support because we can do it on a commercial basis and it will...

Bríd Smith: ...O'Sullivan is probably right on that figure and I do not meant to correct him. However, we discussed specifically last week the emissions from fracked gas from North America, which is what Shannon LNG intends to import. The evidence Professor Howarth gave seems to contradict what Mr. O'Sullivan is saying. The professor indicated that emissions are extremely high and that the fracking...

Mr. Denis O'Sullivan: No, we would not factor it in until such time as we know that an LNG terminal is going to be built. We did factor in our existing sources of gas, plus the renewable gas and hydrogen that we refer to in Vision 2050.
