Large reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in 2009 for Irelands Emissions Trading Companies - Apr 09 2010, 5:38 PM
Data submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the EU Commission show that emissions of greenhouse gases in 2009, for companies in Ireland covered by the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), are over 15% lower than in the previous year. This very large year-on-year reduction reflects the severity of the economic downturn, which began to have significant impact during 2008 and which is now very evident. It also continues a well established downward trend in our recorded emissions since the ETS commenced in 2005. In the EU as a whole, results for 2009 - from almost 10,000 installations in the ETS - show an overall reduction of over 11% on 2008.
