EPA publishes final 1990-2024 greenhouse gas inventory and 2025-2030 projections for Ireland (epa.ie)

• Ireland's 2024 GHG emissions: 53.93 Mt CO2eq, down 1.9% from 2023
• 2024 ESR limit exceeded by 3.93 Mt CO2eq without flexibilities
• Carbon budget 2021-2025: 81% used out of 295 Mt CO2eq
• Q3 2025 quarterly emissions down 2.8% vs Q3 2024
• Agriculture and energy industries drove the largest reductions

"The EPA's latest data shows Ireland's 2024 greenhouse gas emissions at 53.93 Mt CO2eq, a 1.9% decrease from 2023, but still exceeding the 2024 EU Effort Sharing Regulation limit by 3.93 Mt CO2eq. The national carbon budget for 2021-2025 is 81% used. Quarterly indicators for Q3 2025 show a 2.8% year-on-year decrease, driven by agriculture and electricity sectors. Projections indicate Ireland remains off track for 2030 climate targets unless measures are accelerated."
