Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Engagement with the EU Commissioner for Energy (2 Jun 2022)

.... We have to replace Russian imports with renewables and savings. We also need to diversify our supply routes and that means securing around 50 billion cubic metres of liquefied natural gas, LNG, and an additional 10 billion cubic metres of pipeline gas from non-Russian sources. This is ongoing work. We have been contacting all the major reliable partners across the globe but mainly in...

Darren O'Rourke: ...climate and energy obligations as part of a plan to start decommissioning and reducing the use of gas in the medium term by the latest? There is a debate in Ireland on liquefied natural gas, LNG. We may be using it via the pipeline, but we do not have LNG infrastructure. There is commentary to the effect that we should move in line with the move at European level and have that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Engagement with the EU Commissioner for Energy (2 Jun 2022)

...on all fronts, but we are relatively well prepared. In Europe, we faced our first gas disruption in 2009. Member states were not connected to one another via gas pipelines and there were few LNG terminals. Despite the fact that 40% of the pipeline gas that Europe consumed last year came from Russia, all member states that were customers of Russia's Gazprom had alternatives via reverse...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Engagement with the EU Commissioner for Energy (2 Jun 2022)

Darren O'Rourke: What about the lock-in with new fossil fuel infrastructure, especially LNG? I also have a question about scaling up across Europe towards renewables. How do we do that when there is such a limited supply to start off with?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Engagement with the EU Commissioner for Energy (2 Jun 2022)

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...was raised. It is a real concern, and one the committee has discussed, that there is talk, for example, of contracts going to 2049 in respect of some of the new potential infrastructure around LNG. There is a fear, in effect, that the idea of having new contracts going until 2049, and simply saying that in 2050 we will suddenly talk about net zero but not have a genuinely strong emission...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Engagement with the EU Commissioner for Energy (2 Jun 2022)

Bríd Smith: ...made by the fossil fuel industry across the US on the back of this. Has the Commissioner seen the study, and what is her view on it? Does the Commissioner genuinely believe our expansion of LNG and new gas projects is sustainable or in any way in line with the climate goals given that the International Energy Agency and others have explicitly said to us that we must not have any new...

Lynn Boylan: ...the modernisation process. It is my understanding that the EU is hoping the UN is going to deal with that. If, however, we are now in a situation where we are talking about new liquified natural gas, LNG terminals, whether they are in Ireland or in other EU member states, we are locking in those provisions under the Energy Charter Treaty for all of those new LNG terminals by not...
