Ireland’s Big Biomethane Boost

Ireland’s renewable energy future just got a major boost with a €80 million biomethane plant launching in Little Island, Cork—set to begin operations by 2027. Processing 90,000 tonnes of food and garden waste annually, the facility will generate 80 gigawatt-hours of clean biomethane yearly, enough to heat 6,000 homes. Beyond energy, it tackles waste and slashes emissions by 40,000 tonnes of CO2 annually while reducing reliance on fossil fuels and artificial fertilizers. Announced at the All-Island Bioeconomy Summit, this marks Ireland’s seventh biomethane plant connected to the national grid in three years—signaling rapid momentum toward a circular, climate-resilient energy future.
