They are based on Ireland’s Specific Emission Factors used in the 2005 National Inventory reported to UNFCCC, unless otherwise stated. Please note that this table may be updated at anytime as new information becomes available. The fuel factor does not include an oxidation factor; this must be applied separately (except for cement kilns where combustion is assumed to be practically 100%).
