Our Mission and Priorities
RGFI is Ireland’s strategic industry advocacy forum. Our membership represents the full value chain – from feedstock providers and developers, through to energy suppliers and large energy users. Working with them we developed the integrated business cases that laid the foundations of the Irish biomethane industry and informed the National Biomethane Strategy.
We can deliver not only renewable gas, but wider circular, bioeconomy value including organic fertilisers, CO2, carbon recycling and sustainable rural development.
Our priorities to accelerate affordable, sustainable, renewable gas deployment are:
- Enable policy and regulatory frameworks
- Remove delivery barriers – planning, permitting and grid / infrastructure challenges
- Support market creation and financial certainty
- Promote biomethane and its co-products among end users
