Brian Ó Gallachóir, Director, @MaREIcentre, makes three key points:
1. We need to have a reduce energy demand.

"Biomethane is being injected today with significant further potential @GasNetIrl 's Edwina Nyhan tells #EnergyIreland

Mitchelstown Central Grid Injection is the next step but policy supports are needed to enable Biomethane reach its full potential."

Discussing the role of gas in decarbonisation @EnergyIreland today, our CEO @cathalmarley1 said, 'Our gas network will continue to play an important role in decarbonising society. The reality is we need gas for security of supply and can't transition to renewables without it.'
