The state of Ireland's industrial emissions

Across the 8 Ireland industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 5.1 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Aughinish Alumina Refinery (aluminum), accounts for about 46% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from aluminum. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — United Company RUSAL PJSC, Irish Cement Ltd, Mannok Build Ltd — account for roughly 82%. Most of these facilities sit in a temperate Köppen climate zone.
