Resource or Project Abstract
The reporting guidelines on annual inventories adopted by the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), describe the scope and reporting of greenhouse
gas emission inventories by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention. The guidelines
set out the methodologies and procedures to be followed for submitting consistent and
comparable data on an annual basis in a timely, efficient and transparent manner to meet the
needs of the Convention. The UNFCCC guidelines require that Parties prepare a National
Inventory Report (NIR) as one of the key components of their annual submissions to the
UNFCCC secretariat. The purpose of the NIR is to describe the input data, methodologies,
emission factors, quality assurance and quality control procedures and other information
underlying the inventory compilation for greenhouse gases and to give details of any
recalculations of inventories previously submitted. It is needed to assess the transparency,
completeness and overall quality of the inventories as part of the rigorous ongoing technical
review of submissions from Annex I Parties. ** NOTE ** The data for the submission of yearly inventories are supplied here for research purposes. Please refer to http://erc.epa.ie/ghg for the most recent data files from the current submission.

| Lineage information about this project or dataset |
| The present report constitutes Irelands NIR for 2015 and refers to the inventory time-series
for the years 1990-2013. It is an update of the 2014 report and is compiled according to the structure adopted by Decision 18/CP.9. As such, it includes sections describing emission trends, key emission categories, recalculations and ongoing improvements, in addition to the detailed documentation of methods, activity data and emission factors used for each of the source categories as defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). |
| Supplementary Information |
| NOTE ON THE DATA CONTAINED IN THE MS EXCEL DOWNLOADS.
A consistent time-series of greenhouse gas inventories is available for the years 1990 through 2013. The results are compiled as a complete set of Common Reporting Format files, generated by the CRF Reporter Tool, the electronic reporting protocol adopted for annual data submissions to the UNFCCC. The annual inventories are substantially complete with respect to both the coverage of the six greenhouse gases for which information is required and the coverage of IPCC source categories. |
