Minister Ryan said today “This project shows how we can diversify our gas supplies, by speeding up the roll-out of renewable gases like biomethane .. reduce our reliance on imported fossil fuels.. contribute to our broader climate goals .."https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/economy/arid-40906409.html
The revised #EED should acknowledge the importance of renewable and decarbonised gases and fuels, such as sustainable #biogas and #biomethane, renewable liquid gases, bioliquids and hydrogen, for which #REPowerEU sets ambitious targets.

Grass biorefining, AD Biomethane, biofertilisers, biogenic CO2 - on farm circular bioeconomy approach @TeagascEnviron @agriculture_ie @Dept_ECC @farm4more
Looking at how different grass swards for alpine regions as part of @farm4more grass bio refinery and options for Ireland. Interesting to see use of vertical grass silos on the steep slopes with gantry to remove silage over winter. Thanks to AREC for hosting. @LIFEprogramme
AD biomethane supports carbon neutral farming - a great opportunity #FarmZeroC @TeagascEnviron @agriculture_ie @Dept_ECC @European_Biogas
#WestCork jobs alert! Post doc researcher roles available for the #FarmZeroC project, based in @ucddublin or at @shinagh in West Cork. Please share. Funded thanks to @scienceirel

Fantastic sessions today at @dptcentre Knowledge Day 2022. In particular, a very impactful talk by PJ Mc Carthy from @RenewGasRGFI on sustainable bio-methane supporting the Irish dairy industry #biomethane #DairySustainability #KD2022 #ProjectClover
Delighted to contribute to the DPTCentre event - Public private collaboration is the way forward for sustainable, circular economy AD biomethane @agriculture_ie @Dept_ECC @DairySusIreland
PJ McCarthy of the Renewable Gas Forum Ireland presenting on Project Clover - Sustainable Biomethane #KD2022 @RenewGasRGFI
#REPowerEU 🎯Achieving the 35 bcm of #biomethane target by 2030 will require €83 bn of capital #investments to build 5,000 plants.

The #EU is on track to lead the way when it comes to decarbonising road and maritime #transport, but we need to keep investing in the solutions that will take us there. #BioLNG is an essential part of delivering Fit for 55 and it’s here right now. #FF55 #GreenDeal

Collaboration across Irish Government Departments and with industry consumers is needed
Yesterday’s webinar has brought together a wide range of stakeholders for a discussion on the actions needed to deliver 35 bcm of #biomethane by 2030.
🙌Ambition can be reached, but as 🇪🇺A. Tomczak highlighted a strengthened framework for public private partnerships is needed.
Our vision: “A large scale, renewable gas industry in Ireland, indigenous and sustainable, producing at least 12% of current gas demand as renewable gas by 2030.”
About us
The Renewable Gas Forum Ireland is at the forefront of Ireland’s advancement towards a new era of indigenous, sustainable energy, while decarbonising industry’s heat demand…
