“The Government has a target of trying to produce 5.7 Terawatt hours (TWhs) of biomethane through the construction of 200 Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plants by 2030. If the Government is serious about this, it will require a lot more funding than €40m. Countries such as Denmark have successfully developed a biomethane sector, but they committed multiples of this figure in funding,” outlined the President.
“There are also other logistical issues that need to be ironed out, including the classification of the by-products such as digestate,” he said.
