Local authority greenhouse gas emissions

UK local authority estimates of greenhouse gas emissions

Title

Local authority greenhouse gas emissions

Description

These statistics provide a breakdown of greenhouse gas emissions across the UK, using nationally available datasets going back to 2005. This year emissions estimates for all sectors and gases span the entire timeseries.

The main data sources are the UK National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory and the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) National Statistics of energy consumption for local authority areas. All emissions included in the national inventory are covered except those from aviation, shipping and military transport, for which there is no obvious basis for allocation to local areas, and emissions of fluorinated gases, for which suitable data are not available to estimate these emissions at a local level.
