Biomass feedstocks and a sufficient supply of them is key for the efficient development of an Irish bioeconomy, according to IrBEA
Forestry
The benefits that wood fuels can have in sustainable forest management have been highlighted in a video launched by the Irish Bioenergy Association.
The IrBEA has said it is "disappointed and dismayed" that a new report on transport "fails to recognise the potential" for biogas.
The Government needs to open the main SSRH and progress with a feed-in tariff for biogas, according to speakers at the IrBEA conference.
Agri Politics
Calls are mounting for a biogas industry to be rolled out nationwide in a bid to bolster farm incomes and reduce carbon emissions.
Former Macra na Feirme President Sean Finan has been appointed as the new chief executive officer of the Irish Bioenergy Association (IrBEA).
The SSRH needs to open fully in order to kick-start the Irish biomass sector, according to the president of the IrBEA, Des O'Toole.
A new chief executive is currently being recruited by the Irish Bioenergy Association (IrBEA) to "champion the case of the growing bioenergy sector", according to the organisation.
The announcement on the national Support Scheme for Renewable Heat has been declared a welcome development for the Irish bioenergy sector.
