The Government set a target in 2020 for on-site emissions across the manufacturing sector to fell by 35 per cent by 2030 as part of a path for the economy to reach net-zero emissions by the middle of the century. “Industrial emissions account for around 10 per cent of Ireland’s total emissions, so manufacturing businesses have an important leadership role to play in reducing Ireland’s overall carbon emissions,” said Minister Burke.
