Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what records his Department made of emission changes in UK energy generation in each of the last 12 months.
The Department does not estimate emission changes on a monthly basis. Provisional carbon dioxide emissions estimates, published in March, show quarterly estimates of emissions from energy supply for 2017 as follows:
2017 quarter: | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 |
Carbon dioxide emissions from energy supply (Mt) | 110.6 | 107.6 | 106.2 | 105.0 |
