Integrated system
Drive whole system planning across the energy industry to develop a least-cost, clean and secure energy system.
Integrated energy planning is essential to achieving Ireland's climate goals, optimising infrastructure investments and maximising the value or renewable energy sources. Gas Networks Ireland will play a key role in planning a clean, secure, and cost-effective energy future.

Scale biomethane
Champion the biomethane industry while preparing to transport biomethane at scale for customers.
Biomethane offers a renewable gas pathway that can directly replace natural gas for customers while supporting decarbonisation, security of supply, rural value chains, and reduced reliance on imported gas. Gas Networks Ireland is supporting biomethane production, developing the infrastructure needed to connect producers to the network, and working with industry and policymakers to encourage its uptake.
Enable hydrogen
Lead the development of networked hydrogen as a core component of Ireland's future energy system.
Hydrogen has the potential to play an important role in Ireland's journey to net zero, particularly in areas where reducing emissions can be more challenging, such as heavy industry, transport and energy generation. Gas Networks Ireland commits to helping to prepare for the future role of hydrogen by assessing how the gas network could safely transport hydrogen, supporting national policy development, and working with government, regulators, and industry partners to enable its use.
Decarbonised operations
Deliver on climate change mitigation commitments by decarbonising own operations and contributing to a nature positive world via biodiversity.
This commitment focuses on reducing the emissions Gas Networks Ireland can directly influence while strengthening climate resilience and biodiversity across operations and assets.
Taking action for nature
At Gas Networks Ireland, we emphasise the significance of biodiversity as part of our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. We recognise our responsibility to protect and restore Ireland's biodiversity through our extensive underground infrastructure network and numerous AGIs and office locations. As custodians of these sites, we take a proactive approach to avoiding, minimising and restoring biodiversity impacts across our network.
Strategic Gas Emergency Reserve
Ensure that minimising greenhouse gas impact is a critical consideration in design and investment decisions.
The Strategic Gas Emergency Reserve (SGER) provides an emergency reserve to safeguard Ireland's energy supply during potential gas supply disruption. Sustainability is a core priority of the project's design and investment decisions.
