Celebrating 50 years of Moving Ireland’s Energy
For fifty years, we have played a vital role in Ireland's energy. Gas Networks Ireland operates and maintains Ireland €3bn, 14,781km national gas network, which is considered one of the safest and most modern renewables-ready gas networks in the world.
A renewables-ready network
By gradually replacing natural gas with renewable gases, such as biomethane and green hydrogen, Gas Networks Ireland is working to deliver a net-zero carbon gas network and to reduce emissions across a number of key sectors, including those that are traditionally difficult to decarbonise, like transport, agriculture, industry, and power generation.
Biomethane
Biomethane is a carbon-neutral renewable gas made from farm and food waste through a process known as anaerobic digestion. It began flowing into the gas network in 2019 and is the first step to a cleaner energy future.

Green hydrogen
Green hydrogen (H2) is a carbon free gas that can be produced from renewable electricity and is well suited for storage, making it an attractive option to decarbonise energy systems and drive a cleaner energy future.
