Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Brian Carroll:
It has a bearing on the decarbonisation of our energy system. It obviously does not have a bearing on agriculture targets. The ETS is an EU-wide policy mechanism to reduce emissions in large industry and electricity generation. The EU has a target to reduce emissions in the ETS, which contributes to this and reduces emissions on an economy-wide basis in Ireland.
