Mineral Oil Tax is comprised of a carbon and a non-carbon charge; the carbon component is also referred to as carbon tax. I am advised by Revenue that the receipts from the Mineral Oil Tax Carbon Charge (MOTCC) for motor diesel and petrol for the years 2019 and 2020 are published on the Revenue website at the following address:

The provisional receipts for motor diesel and petrol in 2021 are €292m and €62m respectively. When analysis of the 2021 receipts is finalised in the coming months, the data will be published on the Revenue website at the address above.
