Headline data

Source: Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

Geographical Area: United Kingdom

Unit of Measurement: Million tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e)

Footnote: Gases are weighted by their global warming potential (GWP), so that total greenhouse gas emissions can be reported on a consistent basis (in carbon dioxide equivalent units). The GWP for each gas is defined as its warming influence relative to that of carbon dioxide. The GWPs used are from Working Group 1 of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report - Climate Change 2013.
