What is the Northern Ireland Greenhouse Gas Inventory?
The Northern Ireland Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory contains data detailing greenhouse gas emissions in Northern Ireland from 1990 to the latest reporting year. It is a subset of the UK GHG Inventory, which is produced to fulfil both European Union Monitoring Mechanism (EUMM) and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting requirements the UK has under the Kyoto Protocol. It is compiled in line with international guidance from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Note: Each year the greenhouse gas inventory is extended and updated. The whole historical data series is revised to incorporate methodological improvements and new data. This takes into account revisions to the datasets which have been used in its compilation. Therefore, once the latest year’s Inventory is published, the previous version becomes redundant and cannot be used for comparison purposes. However, the latest Inventory contains a single consistent data series going back to 1990 which can be used to examine trends.
Next update
This statistical bulletin will be updated annually.
The 1990-2016 statistical bulletin will be published in June 2018.
The scheduled dates for all upcoming publications are available from the GOV.UK statistics release calendar.
