LNG needed until offshore wind is developed — Limerick Chamber

'Industrial and manufacturing clusters will require stable energy as we transition to cleaner energy sources'

Renewables have a large part to play in our future, but there is a gap in the interim that needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency, Limerick Chamber said.

The Government must seriously look at the potential that
liquified natural gas (LNG) could play in Ireland’s energy security and diversity, Limerick Chamber has said.

In its submission to the review of the security of energy supply of Ireland’s electricity and natural gas systems, the business representative body said LNG investment should be a short and medium-term measure while "aggressive" investment in the development of offshore renewable energy takes place.
