Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Mr. Jim Scheer:

Mr. Muttitt put up some of our national energy projections data and converted them into emissions. It is good to see that in the context of the longer-term future point target. I wanted to give everyone context about how we come to those numbers and what is included in that trend. I am not sure if he used the latest round of projections released earlier this year by the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA.
