greenhouse gas emissions per capita in the EU, at nearly 13 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent per person.
Ireland produced 34.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2021. This was an increase of over five percent in comparison to the previous year, when the outbreak of COVID-19 and the restrictions imposed caused a reduction in CO₂ emissions. When compared to 1990, CO₂ levels in Ireland are now roughly 12 percent higher. In fact, Ireland has one of the highest Annual carbon dioxide emissions in Ireland from 1970 to 2021 (in million metric tons)
