Midland counties have the highest rate of turf usage in the State
Some 68,000 households across the State are mostly dependent on turf for home heating, according to the 2022 census. In 2016 it was 79,000 and in 2011 90,000.
By contrast, fewer than 200 households in the whole of Dublin’s four local authority areas burn turf, and the percentage nationwide of homes that use fuel decreased from 5.5 per cent in 2011 to 3.7 per cent across the State.Overall, the 2022 census showed that the proportion of homes with oil-fired central heating is lower than in 2011, now standing at 39 per cent.
Just over a quarter of households have a renewable energy source, with more than half of those using wood or biomass.
