    The Northern Ireland greenhouse gas projections update paper is updated annually and details the changes to the Northern Ireland greenhouse gas projection tool.

    What is GHG projection tool?

    The Northern Ireland Greenhouse Gas projection tool considers the time series of greenhouse gas emissions from the greenhouse gas inventory and projects emissions onward to 2032. The associated sensitivity analysis papers supplement their respective projections update papers by considering the effects that various economic and policy impacts, and possible data improvements, might have on the projected emissions.
