Note: These pages present provisional 1990-2023 Inventory data (updated July 2024) and the EPA's latest 2023-2030 projections estimates (updated May 2024)
In 2023 commercial services were responsible for 1.3% share & public services were responsible for 1.2% 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. In 2023 emissions from Public services decreased by 2.7% while Commercial Services decreased by 2.5% compared to 2022 due to a decrease in natural gas and oil use in the public services sector.
(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.
