Taoiseach opens €32m Mitchelstown facility injecting biomethane by trailer
Taoiseach Micheal Martin has opened Gas Networks Ireland's €32 million Central Grid Injection facility in Mitchelstown, County Cork, which lets biomethane producers transport renewable gas by trailer for injection into the national network. The company says the facility can support supplying around 12% of Ireland's 2030 biomethane target and cut an estimated 130,000 tonnes of CO2 a year.
Our readTrailer-based injection is a lower-capital route to a biomethane connection than a dedicated pipeline, which matters for smaller producers who could not otherwise justify the infrastructure spend.
