Gas Networks Ireland and Bia Energy to connect Dublin’s first direct RNG plant

In Ireland, Gas Networks Ireland and Bia Energy have agreed a significant partnership to enable renewable biomethane gas from the Bia Energy facility at Huntstown, Co Dublin to be injected directly into the gas network.  

Gas Networks Ireland will extend its existing network to create Dublin’s first direct Renewable Gas Entry Point at Bia Energy’s new reconfigured €63 million anaerobic digestion facility in Huntstown. The agreement comes on the back of the recently announced National Biomethane Strategy, published by the Government and will be an important milestone in the development of Ireland’s renewable energy sector, as more biomethane made from food waste from the greater Dublin area will be injected directly into the State’s gas network.
