Written answers

My Department is currently finalising a Bioenergy Strategy, with a view publishing it as soon as possible. The strategy will set out the actions required to optimise the contribution that a sustainable bioenergy sector could make to achieving the 2020 renewable energy target for Ireland. A strong bioenergy sector could also make important contributions to a wide range of Government policy objectives, from agriculture through to environment policy and the strategy will draw on contributions from various government departments and agencies, as well as other stakeholders.
