Tom O’Brien of Nephin Energy on the importance of gas, the potential of biomethane, and whether our energy bills will come down

This week’s guest on Inside Business is Tom O’Brien, group chief executive of Nephin Energy.

Nephin owns 43 per cent of the Corrib gas field off the west coast of Ireland and also has ambitious plans to develop a network of agri-based biomethane plants across the country.

While gas is a polluting fuel it continues to be an important part of our energy mix.

Tom joins host Ciarán Hancock in studio to talk about the chances of extending the lifetime of the Corrib field, why biomethane is a potential win-win for the country, the future of offshore wind as a natural resource for Ireland, and whether gas prices are likely to go up or down over the next couple of years.

Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound.
