What is green gas?

• Green gas is gas that is produced mainly from biological material; this is called biomethane. It is also possible to produce gas from non-biological origins such as electricity.
• In Ireland, the initial sources will be wastes and residues such as animal slurry and food waste. Over time, energy crops such as grass, willow and seaweed can be introduced.
• Green gas can be upgraded to natural gas standard and injected into the existing gas network.
• Green gas is a form of renewable energy that can be used for electricity, heat and transport.
