CURRENT ACTIVITIES

His current activities include reviewing NETs in ESMs, mainly focusing on BECCS and direct air capture and storage (DACCS).

BACKGROUND

He finished his master’s degree in Sustainable Energy at UCC, and focused on the role of biomass with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in Ireland’s energy system transition in his master’s thesis.
