The Irish energy sector is undergoing a transition to a low carbon future. Although much of the focus to date has been on electricity, there is now a need to move the focus towards the transition of Ireland’s natural gas network to low and zero carbon gas sources. By gradually replacing natural gas with renewable biomethane the goal is to deliver a net-zero carbon gas network by 2045 and to reduce emissions across a number of key sectors, including those that are traditionally difficult to decarbonise, like transport, agriculture, industry, and power generation.
There are an emerging number of elements to the decarbonisation of the natural gas infrastructure including biomethane and green hydrogen. The production of biomethane also offers the opportunity to address emissions from the agriculture sector. Climate Action Plan 2023 has a target of 5.7TWh of biomethane by 2030 and this will require over 150 anaerobic digestion plants. Ireland has also the opportunity to generate green hydrogen from renewable electricity to further decarbonise its gas network and also offers Ireland an export opportunity.
Energy Ireland, in partnership with Gas Networks Ireland, will hold this annual conference on the future of renewable gas in Ireland, involving key stakeholders across the energy sector. The objective of the conference is to give delegates a genuine in-depth understanding of the developments in the gas sector and to investigate potential options for decarbonising Ireland’s natural gas infrastructure.
✔ GNI’s strategy to decarbonise its network;
✔ The potential for biomethane production in Ireland;
✔ Biomethane injection into the gas network;
✔ The future role of green hydrogen;
✔ The potential for gas storage in Ireland.
