IN 2019 the Irish Government published its Climate Action Plan, the objective of which was to encourage Ireland to meet its EU targets to reduce carbon emissions by 30% before 2030.

The Action Plan targets the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions with the ultimate aim of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Farming wasn’t pressurised quite as hard as other sectors, but it seems only a matter of time before we will be forced to convert to cleaner fuel systems and ditch the diesel.
