Webinar 47: Ireland’s Solid Biomass Capacity Report Launch – Demonstrating Ireland’s potential and ability for biomass heating solutions

A live recording of webinar 47 is available here.

Topic overview
The Solid Biomass Capacity Statement developed by the Irish Bioenergy Association (IrBEA) provides evidence to the heat market and users regarding the capacity of the sector to deliver decarbonised heating solutions using solid biomass.
The report addresses the current and future availability of solid biomass in Ireland and the supply network that exists to mobilise the solid biomass resource. The supply chain capacity in terms of chipping and mobilisation of the solid biomass resource is outlined. The report demonstrates the capacity that exists in the sector regarding solid biomass systems design, installation and maintenance, technology availability, industry expertise, knowledge and skills. It addresses sustainability and air quality in the use of solid biomass and highlights the financial models and supports which exist for the sale and supply of renewable heat using solid biomass. The report showcases examples of successful deployment of solid biomass heating solutions at different scales of use and across sectors.
This webinar was facilitated by Seán Finan, IrBEA CEO. He was joined on the webinar by report authors Eugene Hendrick, Noel Gavigan and Stephen McCormack
