Total Energy Consumption
In 2022, consumption per capita was 2.7 toe (down from 3.2 toe in 2010) and about 10% below the EU average. Per capita electricity consumption was almost 6000 kWh in 2022, slightly above the EU average.

Crude Oil Production
There is currently no oil production. Providence Resources was the first company to report commercially viable oil flow from its Barryroe well in 2012.
Ireland imports all its crude oil and about 90% of its refined product needs. Ireland's oil dependency is among the highest in the EU.
Ireland has just one oil refinery, the Whitegate refinery located in Cork, with a capacity of 75 kb/d. It processes crude, mainly sourced from the North Sea, North Africa, and West Africa.

Oil Products Consumption
The consumption of oil products remained stable in 2022 at 6.3 Mt, after an 8% drop in 2020. Previously, it had remained quite stable over 2013 and 2019, after a rapid decrease between 2006 and 2013 (-6%/year).
Transport absorbs 57% of oil demand (2022), followed by the residential-tertiary sector (25%) and industry (12%) (including non-energy uses).

Natural Gas Consumption
Natural gas consumption decreased by 5% in 2021 and stabilised in 2022 at 5.3 bcm. It rose between 2016 and 2020 (+1.9%/year), after a 16% rebound in 2015. It decreased sharply (-5.5%/year) between its peak level in 2010 at 5.5 bcm and 2014, as a result of a reduction in power generation from gas (-10%/year).

Power Consumption
Electricity consumption has increased by 2.5%/year since 2014, reaching 30.6 TWh in 2022. It decreased between 2008 and 2012 (-2.3%/year), driven by the economic crisis.

Renewable in % Electricity Production
SEAI is also the agency in charge of the implementation of the renewable energy policy.
The objective of increasing the share of renewables in final energy consumption to 16% in 2020 was met, of which 40% was for electricity (42% in 2020), 12% for heat (6.3%), and 10% in transport (10.2%). For 2030, the target set in the NECP is to reach a share of 34.1% of renewables in final consumption (80% of which for electricity).

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
GHG emissions increased by 5% in 2021 to 69.4 MtCO2, which is 12% above their 1990 level. Emissions decreased by 2.7%/year between 2017 and 2020; previously, they had been increasing by 1.6%/year since 2012. These emissions fell by 15%, from their 2005 peak level of 78 MtCO2 to 65 MtCO2 in 2012, because of the economic crisis.
