Amharc ar fhreagraA wide range of research, including on the potential job creation impact, has been carried out by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, research institutions and industry representative organisations in relation to the production of biogas from anaerobic digestion. In particular, I would refer the Deputy to the following report, which is published on the website of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: https://www.seai.ie/resources/publications/Assessment-of-Cost-and-Benefits-of-Biogas-and-Biomethane-in-Ireland.pdf.
