SEAI analyses data relevant to non-renewable waste. This page refers to:
- Non-renewable waste primary energy requirement
- Energy input to electricity generation from non-renewable waste (-)
- Non-renewable waste final energy consumption
Activities that add energy to primary energy requirement or energy available for final consumption have been assigned positive values. Activities that remove energy from primary energy requirement or energy available for final consumption have been assigned negative values.
Non-Renewable Waste Primary Energy Requirement
Yearly Change
The data view below shows the annual net primary energy requirement of non-renewable waste from the national production stream (top), along with the absolute and percentage differences of non-renewable waste primary energy requirement, with respect to the previous year for up to 20 years, where data is available (bottom).
Breakdown by Energy Input to Electricity Generation or Other Uses
The data view below shows the annual net primary energy requirement of non-renewable waste, from the national production stream (top), along with the breakdown between non-renewable waste energy input to electricity generation or other uses. This is displayed as a percentage of non-renewable waste primary energy requirement in a given year (bottom).
Non-Renewable Waste Energy Input to Electricity Generation
Yearly Change
The data view below shows the annual energy input to electricity generation from non-renewable waste, summed across public thermal power plants (PTPP) input and combined heat and power plants (CHP) input (top), along with the absolute and percentage differences of non-renewable waste input to electricity generation, with respect to the previous year for up to 20 years, where data is available (bottom).
Non-Renewable Waste Final Energy Consumption
Yearly Change
The data view below shows the annual final energy consumption of non-renewable waste, summed across all sectors: agriculture, commercial services, fisheries, industry, public services, residential, transport (top), along with the absolute and percentage differences of non-renewable waste final energy consumption, with respect to the previous year for up to 20 years, where data is available (bottom).
Using the Annual Data Views
The data views can be customised and navigated by:
- Selecting the units from the dropdown menu - kilotonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe) (default), terajoules (TJ), or terawatt hours (TWh).
- Hovering over an element of a view to display a tooltip providing numerical values.
The data in the views can be downloaded by clicking on the 'download icon' and selecting:
- Image to download the view as a PNG file.
- Data to open a table of the underlying data in Tableau Public Crosstab to download the underlying data as a XLSX file (Microsoft Excel) or a CSV file (comma-separated values).
- PDF to download the view as a PDF.
- PowerPoint to download the view as a PPTX file for Microsoft PowerPoint.
- Tableau Workbook to download all views as a TWBX file for Tableau Desktop.
