Question:

2154. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the expected impact on affected oil products measured by euro per tonne of CO2 emitted by raising the National Oil Reserve Agency, NORA, levy by 1 cent, 2 cent and 5 cent per litre, respectively. [31589/19]

Written answers

Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment

There are no plans to increase the NORA levy from its current rate of 2 cents per litre. As a result, no analysis has been conducted in terms of any decrease in CO2 emissions being generated by any such increase.
