RGFI presented to the JOC on Environment and Climate Action today and reiterated our call for immediate implementation of the RHO to underpin the development of AD biomethane in Ireland for the difficult to abate transport and agriculture sectors.@Dept_ECC @European_Biogas
We welcome today’s unanimous agreement of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment and Climate Action on the need for urgent movement to support AD biomethane. RGFI presented to the JOC reiterating our call for the immediate implementation of the RHO @Dept_ECC
The #biomethane sector is ready to deliver and work with #EU institutions to reach the target of the biomethane plan, including:
✅The production of 35 bcm by 2030
✅The set-up of a biomethane industrial partnership
#REPowerEU https://twitter.com/Energy4Europe/status/1542534966709567489
#Biomethane can play an important role to achieve the #REPowerEU plan’s objectives of diversified #gassupplies and reduce the EU’s dependence on Russian fossil fuels. To this end, production needs to reach 3⃣5⃣ billion cubic meters/year by 2030 → https://europa.eu/!6pKhPP
#GasPackage An EU-wide right to inject for #biomethane projects developers, including outside gas-served areas, is paramount to a quick integration of biomethane into the energy markets.

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
