.... It also includes targets for shore-side electricity provisions, a mandate that all fixed and remote contact stands at airports supply electricity to aircraft on standby by 2025 and 2030, respectively, and proposals on the use of LNG as a transport fuel. To conclude, through the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021, Ireland has committed to a 51% reduction in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (21 Oct 2021)

Darren O'Rourke: ...What is going to happen to the sector in that intervening period? Will additional levies, burdens and costs just be heaped on it? There seems to be a concerning contradiction around the piece on LNG. We have outlined our policy position in Ireland on LNG. This proposal seems to be saying the opposite in stating that there is opportunity there to use it and an appropriate infrastructure...

...the creation of demand. However, there is still a lot of work to be done in that area, including on our part. We need to do some research on how it will all fit together. On the issue of LNG, there is no contradiction in the proposals. National policy is that LNG is not part of our mix. The requirement in the alternative fuel infrastructure regulation proposal is one that we are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (21 Oct 2021)

Mr. Eddie Burke: Yes. We have made our position clear that we do not agree with the LNG provision. It is contrary to Government policy. Other member states will make their own points also.

Mr. Eddie Burke: On the first point regarding LNG, we have made a case and we will continue to make the case strongly with regard to LNG and the Government's policy in that respect. On the question of offshore renewable energy, ORE, we absolutely agree on the potential that is out there, whether is on the south-east, south-west or west coast. It is huge. We know ports are considering the...

Matt Shanahan: ...bring people in, but does the Department have a database, and what engagement does it have with industry players at present? Third, I heard Deputy Matthews say we cannot have liquid natural gas, LNG, and that we must convert to wind. We have not got even as far as designating a wind port yet in our roll-out of offshore wind, so offshore wind is about ten years away. We will need LNG...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (21 Oct 2021)

Steven Matthews: I am glad to hear Mr. Burke state we will be arguing strongly against liquefied natural gas, LNG, and our strong Government policy is to not accept its import or the construction of terminals for it. I hope that case is made very strongly in Brussels. We have fantastic potential in wind energy and we have some of the best wind speeds in Europe. We started well with the Arklow Bank in...
