Note: These pages present final 1990-2023 Inventory data (updated March 2025) and the EPA's latest 2024-2030 projections estimates (updated May 2025)
In 2023 Commercial Services were responsible for 1.3% share, and Public Services were responsible for 1.2% share, of Ireland's total 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. In 2023 emissions from Public Services decreased by 2.7% while Commercial Services decreased by 2.6% compared to 2022 due to a decrease in natural gas and oil use in the public services sector.
(Latest update May 2025)
Under the With Existing Measures scenario, emissions from the commercial and public services sector are projected to decrease by 10.1% between 2018 and 2030 to 1.4 Mt CO₂eq. Under the With Additional Measures scenario emissions from the commercial and public services sector are projected to decrease by 35.9% between 2018 and 2030 to 1.0 Mt CO₂eq. This scenario assumes implementation of a range of energy efficiency programmes and increased growth in biomethane use and district heating.
