120,000ha and 1.3m cows required to meet new National Biomethane Strategy goals

The new National Biomethane Strategy's primary goal is to deliver the ambitious target of up to 5.7 Tera Watt hours (TWh) of indigenously produced biomethane by 2030.

Ireland’s €40m new National Biomethane Strategy has set ambitions to replace up to 10% of the country’s fossil gas needs with biomethane by 2030.

It’s envisaged this proportion will rise to over 50% by the mid-2030s, as the economy moves away from gas in favour of electrification.
