Analysis
Ireland recorded 0.3356 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024.
The figure is down 21.5% on the previous year and down 42.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Ireland peaked at 0.8384 Mt CO2e in 2006 and was at its lowest, 0.2618 Mt CO2e, in 1972.
That places Ireland 94th out of 190 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
