E293 That Great Business Show - Why we could soon be eating grass - Enda Buckley, Carbery Group
That Great Business ShowShow Notes
ON Episode 293 of That Great Business Show, recorded at the RDS Finding Common Ground Festival, Conall Ó Móráin speaks with Enda Buckley of Carbery Group.
This is not a farming story. This is an energy story. A profitability story. A “what are we waiting for?” story.
Denmark is moving fast on biomethane — turning farm waste into gas and aiming for self-sufficiency by 2030. Ireland? We have the farms. We have the feedstock. We have the need. But, according to Enda, we do not yet have the push. And that is only the start.
In this episode: Why sustainability-focused farmers were about 28% more profitable How “green poo” could replace imported soya Why grass could become a human food ingredient The parish-level biorefinery model that could transform rural economies How biodiversity may become a revenue stream, not a regulation Why Ireland risks missing a major energy opportunity
