Analysis
Ireland recorded 201.57 kt for food transport — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 8.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food transport — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in Ireland peaked at 233.55 kt in 2016 and was at its lowest, 1.28 kt, in 1992.
That places Ireland 17th out of 88 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
