Bioenergy industry 'still waiting for its full potential to be realised' in Ireland

"The contribution of Irish-sourced and produced bioenergy for energy security that's sustainable can no longer be ignored."

Bioenergy can be defined as any form of energy that is derived from living organisms, either plant or animal.

The bioenergy industry is "still waiting for its full potential to be realised" in Ireland.

Bioenergy can "significantly contribute to energy security and reduce Ireland’s dependence on volatile and record high-priced fossil fuels", according to the Irish Bioenergy Association (IrBEA).
