Benefits of Biomethane
A Local Solution with National Impact
Climate Action
Biomethane replaces fossil fuels
with clean, renewable gas,
helping Ireland cut emissions
and meet climate targets.
Support for Farmers
Farmers supply feedstocks and
receive digestate as natural
fertiliser, creating new income
and reducing input costs.
Energy Security
Producing gas locally keeps
energy in Irish hands and
reduces reliance on imported
fossil fuels.
Circular Economy
Biomethane transforms farm
and food waste into clean energy
and valuable fertiliser, keeping
resources in use.
Rural Jobs
Biomethane plants and supply
chains create skilled jobs in rural
communities and boost local
economies.
Biodiversity & Soil Health
Digestate improves soil health,
supports biodiversity, and
reduces the need for chemical
fertilisers.
