NEA NI’s Response to the Department for the Economy’s Call for Evidence: Developing Biomethane Production in Northern Ireland

In our response to the Department for the Economy’s (DfE) public consultation on the ‘Energy Strategy for Northern Ireland – Consultation on Policy Options’, NEA NI raised concerns about the lack of evidence to make informed policy decisions about biomethane gas for home heating in Northern Ireland – including lack of evidence on the viability, cost effectiveness and security of supply. We called on DfE to commission an independent scoping exercise to evaluate the full costs and the viability of introducing hydrogen and biomethane gas in Northern Ireland. We therefore welcome the opportunity to respond to this Call for Evidence on developing biomethane production in Northern Ireland.
