This publication provides the final estimates of UK territorial greenhouse gas emissions going back to 1990. Figures for all years since 1990 have been revised since the last publication to incorporate methodological improvements and new data, so the estimates presented here supersede previous ones.

Estimates are presented by source in February of each year. They are updated:

• in March each year to include estimates with energy supply emissions on an end-user basis
• in June each year to include estimates by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)

These statistics covers emissions that occur within the UK鈥檚 borders. When emissions are reported by source, emissions are attributed to the sector that emits them directly. When emissions are reported by end-user, emissions from energy supply are reallocated in accordance with where the end-use of the energy occurred. This reallocation of emissions is based on a modelling process. For example, all the carbon dioxide produced by a power station is allocated to the power station when reporting on a source basis. However, when applying the end-user method, these emissions are reallocated to the users of this electricity, such as domestic homes or large industrial users.

DESNZ聽does not estimate emissions outside the UK associated with UK consumption, however the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs publishes estimates聽of the UK鈥檚 carbon footprint听补苍苍耻补濒濒测.

For the purposes of reporting, greenhouse gas emissions are allocated into a small number of broad, high-level sectors known as Territorial Emissions Statistics sectors, which are as follows: electricity supply, fuel supply, domestic transport, buildings and product uses, industry, agriculture, waste, and land use land use change and forestry (LULUCF).

These high-level sectors are made up of a number of more detailed sectors, which follow the definitions set out by the聽, and which are used in international reporting tables which are submitted to the聽聽every year.

This is an Accredited Official Statistics publication and complies with the Code of Practice for Statistics.
