Gas Networks Ireland has reduced its carbon footprint by 27pc over the past ten years, according to the company’s 2019 Sustainability Report released today. The networks operator plans to reduce its carbon emissions further going forward, both within its own operations and from decarbonising the gas transported through the network. Gas Networks Ireland connects over 705,000 businesses and homes to Ireland’s gas network. Gas demand in the hospitality and leisure sector was just 1pc below where it was 12 months ago in July. But in the construction sector, gas demand last month was up 26pc compared to June - but was still 40pc lower than it was in July of last year.
