A priority deliverable under the National Biomethane Strategy was the development of a Biomethane Sustainability Charter. Developed in partnership with the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine, the Charter sets out best practice guidelines to maximise the benefits of anaerobic digestion, while minimising environmental impacts on land use, water quality, biodiversity, and ensuring high health and safety standards within the sector.

Following a final phase of stakeholder engagement, my Department is now preparing the finalised charter for publication. This will then be available on Gov.ie.
