This is the second EPA report in a new series of quarterly greenhouse gas emissions for Ireland to support more frequent monitoring of national and sectoral progress on climate action. The series will complement the national greenhouse gas inventory and projections prepared annually by the EPA. Emissions in quarter 2 2024 were down by 4.1 per cent on the same quarter last year. This was mainly driven by declining emissions from electricity generation (-19.1 per cent), agriculture (-4.6 per cent) and industrial processes (-9.4 per cent). It should be noted that these data have been seasonally adjusted to provide a clearer picture of the underlying trends independent of seasonal fluctuations.

The EPA has launched a new series of quarterly greenhouse gas emissions for Ireland to support more frequent monitoring of national and sectoral progress on climate action. The series will complement the national greenhouse gas inventory and projections prepared annually by the EPA. The data from the first three months of this year show an overall reduction of 2.2 per cent compared to quarter 1 2023, and a 0.2 per cent increase on quarter 4 2023. It should be noted that these data have been seasonally adjusted to provide a clearer picture of the underlying trends independent of seasonal fluctuations.

EPA special topic bulletin on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals from Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) as part of a special topic series examining sectoral and cross-cutting climate issues. This bulletin provides an insight into the history of land use in Ireland and looks in detail at the six land use categories relevant to GHG emissions reporting. It also sheds light on Ireland’s LULUCF emissions reduction targets and on updates and revisions to the LULUCF GHG Inventory produced by the EPA.
