Listen: a business case for biomethane production in Ireland
Stephen Robb talks to KPMG partner Russell Smith about their key findings and recommendations from a recently commissioned report into the business case for biomethane production in Ireland.
Earlier this week, the Renewable Gas Forum Ireland released details of a KPMG-commissioned report into a business case for biomethane production in Ireland.
The Irish Farmers Journal spoke to KPMG partner Russell Smith who presented the key findings of the report at this week’s forum in Dublin.
The report details how some 227 agricultural-led anaerobic digestion (AD) plants will be needed by 2030, using up 4.8m tonnes of slurry and 5.8m tonnes of additional grass silage annually.

The plan aims to replace 12% of current natural gas consumption with low-carbon renewable gas, produced largely from agricultural waste and grass.
“Ireland has a very significant opportunity,” explained Russell, pointing to the fact that we now have the demand from industry for biomethane who have been struggling to find options to decarbonise. Biomethane has proven itself to be one of the most suitable options.
