Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what change there was in the level of UK emissions in March 2018 compared with March in each of the last five years.
The Department does not estimate greenhouse gas emission changes on a monthly basis. Our latest annual emissions estimates, published in March, show estimates of total UK greenhouse gas emissions for years 1990-2017. From 2012-2017 these were as follows:
Year | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 (p) |
UK GHG emissions (MtCO2e) | 568 | 552 | 511 | 492 | 468 | 456 |
Note:
Final 2017 emissions will be published in February 2019
Provisional 2018 emissions will be published in March 2019.
