Inventories of greenhouse gas emissions are prepared on an annual basis by the Environmental Protection Agency to meet reporting requirements of the United National Framework Convention on Climate Change and the European Union. The information is published each year by the EPA in the National Inventory Report, which also sets out the methodology used for calculating emissions data. The latest such report was published in 2007 in respect of emissions for 2005.
In respect of projections of greenhouse gas emissions, comprehensive projections were prepared for my Department and published in a report, Determining the Share of National Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Emissions Trading in Ireland 2008-2012, in March 2006. The report is available to download from my Department's website www.environ.ie.
