The draft National Biomethane Strategy’s objective is to deliver on the ambitious target set by the Government as part of the agreement on the Sectoral Emissions Ceilings. The ambition is to scale up indigenously-produced biomethane to 5.7 TWh per annum by 2030. The Government target of 5.7TWh of biomethane is the equivalent of approximately 10% of Ireland’s current overall gas demand. The contribution that biomethane could make to gas supply in Ireland would help to diversify sources of gas and improve energy security.
This public consultation is asking for stakeholders’ views on the draft National Biomethane Strategy and how it is customised to an Irish perspective. The consultation invites stakeholders to review the draft strategy and complete an online survey.
