Note: These pages present final 1990-2022 Inventory data (updated May 2024) and the EPA's latest 2023-2030 projections estimates (updated May 2024)
In 2022 commercial services were responsible for 1.3% share & public services were responsible for 1.1% share of Ireland's provisional greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
The commercial/public services sectors estimate emission from fuel combustion for space and hot water heating in commercial and public/institutional buildings in Ireland. Emissions from Public services decreased by 2.2% due to a decrease in natural gas and oil use in the public services sector, while Commercial Services remained approximately equal to 2021 levels.
(Latest update May 2024)
Under the With Existing Measures scenario, emissions from the commercial and public services sector are projected to decrease by 19% between 2022 and 2030 to 1.2 Mt CO2 eq. Under the With Additional Measures scenario emissions from the commercial and public services sector are projected to decrease by 57% between 2022 and 2030 to 0.6 Mt CO2 eq. This scenario assumes full implementation of the Climate Action Plan 2024.
