Your Renewable Energy Options Explained

The Beef Edge

Teagasc Energy & Rural Development Specialist, Barry Caslin, is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast to discuss what renewable energy options are available for beef farmers.

Barry discusses the different renewable sources of interest, particularly the anaerobic digester, which may be an opportunity for farmers to supply grass and slurry.

Solar power has created increased focus in the past number of years with farmers approached to use their land for solar panels and Barry discusses what farmers should be considering before going down this route.

Solar panels for the farm house may also be a possibility and Barry explains the grants available.
