Latest Defra Greenhouse Gas Inventories

6 September 2011: Report presenting estimates of ALL six greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventories for the constituent countries of the UK for 2009.
England has a 77.6% share of total net GHG emissions in 2009 and emissions have declined by 29.5% since the base year (which slightly differs for the different gases).
Overall UK CO2 emissions have fallen by 19.7% between 1990 and 2009, mainly driven by the installation of combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT) in the power generation sector in England and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions from industry in England, Scotland and Wales.
