Technical support for Irish EPA - Update

16 February 2011

Towards the end of 2010, Aether won a contract to help the Irish Environmental Protection Agency compile their greenhouse gas and air quality emissions inventories. Chris Dore has been working with the EPA inventory team in Ireland regularly for the last four months focusing on inventory compilation and development.

The work has now moved into the reporting phase, and will ensure that Ireland meet their international reporting commitments under the Gothenburg Protocol, the National Emissions Ceilings Directive, and the Kyoto protocol. Chris commented that “the economic downturn in Ireland has had a marked impact on air emissions. It will be interesting to see to what extent this is also true for other European countries.”
