Oil and natural gas and other emissions from energy production

In Ireland, the sub-sector Oil and natural gas and other emissions from energy production (part of Energy) was responsible for 0.07 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 0.1% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (0.06 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 27%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 0.03 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.

What is part of this sector? Emissions caused during production, storage, transport and the exploration and development of new deposits.

This sub-sector accounts for 0.7% of Energy emissions in Ireland.
