Lobbying activity
The following activities occurred for this specific Subject Matter Area.
Email (11-20)
email communications in relation to the economic and environmental benefits of AD biomethane, bio fertilsiers and pursuing the additional revenue stream from soil carbon sequestration. this is a missed opportunity, the mature technology offers many wider socio economic, on farm sustainability, decarbonise food production on farm, driven by global consumers demanding climate change, commercial sustainability & competitiveness. Project Clover is industry led consumer group that are collaborating to design a solution and business case to develop AD biomethane, bio fertilsiers and soil regeneration while meeting carbon neutral targets by 2025 & 2030 in some cases. this fully integrated solution requires Government to declare policy support, capital funding, implement Article 23, support an AD Charter and support the most economically advantageous structure for carbon farming with policy and capital supports to get soil carbon sequestration established and recognised and reward the farmers.
Phone call (21-30)
Project Clover presents a business case for AD Biomethane as a fully integrated solution to decarbonise agri food production on farm, decarbonise heat(thermal) demand in the manufacturing & processing industries of dairy processing, beverages, bio pharma, bio medical, pharmaceutical, etc. Teagasc National Farming Survey, outliens that 1/3 of farmers are losing money, 1/3breaking even and 1/3 are commercially viable. AD biomethane is promoted as being a complimentary discipline to existing farm practices, where all farmers can contribute to climate change, not increase emissions, in fact reduce emissions by up to 90%, by growing sustainable feedstock Multispecies Sward, providing diverse secure income, increasing productivity, enhancing soil health & bio diversity, improving water & air quality, Contributing to the 51% decarbonisation target in national, sectoral (agriculture) & local authority Climate Action Plans,aligned with Paris Agreement, European Green Deal, PfG, Ag Climatise
Virtual Meeting (11-20)
Presenting the business case for AD Biomethane, biofetilsiers and soil carbon sequestration under Project Clover, an industry led initiative and collaboration of agri food industry participants with needs to comply with new regulations under Paris Agreement. This means they have to decarbonise their manufacturing & processing along with their full supply chain, farm to fork principle. the global consumers are also demanding action on climate change, the EGD is introducing carbon labeling to food products, promoting organic farm practices and land management, increased productivity and displacing artificial fertilizers by 20% by 2030.The PfG sets out 7% reduction in emissions per annum, Ag Climatise set out a number of actions where AD biomethane, as a biorefinery, develop a circular bio economy pursuing additional opportunities for bio active products, by products of biogenic CO2, bio fertilsiers, soil carbon sequestration, in conjunction with biomethane production, cleaner air &water
