Gas Networks Ireland has confirmed that there has been significant progress in the greater uptake of BioCNG, a clean fuel and diesel alternative for freight and commercial vehicles.
July saw a notable increase in demand for gas in transport with demand for clean burning BioCNG, up 20 per cent month-on-month and 65 per cent year-on-year.
These numbers are a testament to the central role gas will play in Ireland’s continued journey towards net zero.
Overall gas demand increased by almost 6 per cent month-on-month from June and by 3 per cent year-on-year from July 2023, Gas Networks Ireland’s July Gas Demand Report has found.
Gas was also the largest contributor to electricity generation, generating 45 per cent, which represents an increase month-on-month from 42 per cent in June, and a slight decrease year-on-year from 46 per cent relative to July of last year.
