Ireland Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides annual country-level and monthly source-level greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Ireland. The inventory includes annual data by sub-sector and gas starting from 2015, alongside monthly source-level estimates beginning in 2021. This data is produced by a global coalition using modeling to estimate emissions for millions of individual assets.

Use Cases

• Tracking Ireland's progress toward climate goals using annual emissions by sub-sector and gas type
• Identifying high-intensity emission sites using monthly source-level data and asset ownership details
• Assessing data reliability for policy-making using the provided confidence scores for each estimate

Strengths

• Provides granular monthly source-level data starting from 2021
• Includes confidence scores for emissions estimates to support data validation
• Categorizes emissions by specific sub-sectors and gas types

Limitations

• Emissions are estimates based on modeling rather than direct physical measurements for every asset
• Asset ownership information is incomplete and only provided where available
