Great to be at Stormont today to launch the NI gas networks’ short policy paper, ‘Enabling a Greener Energy Future’, which focuses on the range of benefits to unlocking NI’s biomethane opportunity. 👇 👉🏻 Read the paper and 3 key high-level policy suggestions we make here: https://lnkd.in/etTE2FaP Attendees heard from Phillip Brett, Chair of the Economy Committee, on the role of biomethane in local energy decarbonisation and sustainable stimulus of our rural economy, and from Minister Andrew Muir MLA on the role DAERA see for biomethane in helping improve our environment – reducing excess nutrient problems affecting our land and water resources. Industry representatives spoke of the pressing need for the competitiveness of local businesses seeking access to this practical near-term green energy solution. The industry were encouraged to see the Department for the Economy NI Call for Evidence earlier this year, now we need ambitious and supportive policy development to swiftly follow. We will play our role in supporting NI’s pathway to net zero, working with government officials, as well as colleagues in the Utility Regulator NI and right across the NI energy sector, to enable a greener energy future.
