Creating a cleaner energy future for Ireland

Energy- Related CO₂ Emissions in Ireland

• Energy-related CO₂ emissions fell slightly, but not fast enough to achieve target
• Emissions from energy use for transport and heating are increasing

This report shows us once again the challenges we face in reducing our CO₂ emissions from energy use. CO₂ emissions from travel and heating our homes and businesses increased again in 2018. The data in this report pre-dates the release of the Government’s Climate Action Plan. The ambitious course of action plotted in that plan has the potential to turn these trends around.
