Creating a cleaner energy future for Ireland

Ireland's National Energy Projections

Our latest projections report forecasts that approximately 13% of Ireland’s energy will come from renewable sources by 2020. The reduction in carbon dioxide emissions will be the equivalent to taking 1.6 million cars off the road. However, we will not meet our EU target of 16%. As a country we must continue to make progress on energy efficiency across all sectors and rapidly increase the adoption of renewables across heating, electricity and transport, if we are serious about reducing Ireland’s carbon emissions.
