Ryanair's Emissions Surge Amid Green Push
Description
Ryanairs greenhouse gas emissions surged to 12.3 million tonnes in 2025, a 2% increase from 2024, despite a 100% rise in passengers and a 50% drop in emissions per flyer. The European Unions Emissions Trading System reports that Ryanair exceeded its allowance by a significant margin. The airline plans to invest €1.4-1.5 billion to comply with ETS rules and incorporate cleaner fuels. Meanwhile, other Irish polluters like ESB, Irish Cement, and Aughinish Alumina reduced emissions. Globally, aviation emissions are rising, with Aer Lingus also increasing its emissions. Expansion of the ETS to include shipping and fuels is delayed, allowing Ryanairs emissions to continue growing.
