UK: residential greenhouse emissions projection 2040

The main source of emissions from the residential sector in the United Kingdom is the use of gas for heating and cooking. It has been projected that levels of greenhouse gas emissions from this sector will total 66 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2040.

Greenhouse gases are made up of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH2), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs). The majority of greenhouse gasses are made up of carbon dioxide.

Greenhouse gas emissions of the residential real estate sector in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2020, with a forecast until 2040 (in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)

Special properties

Net Zero Strategy baseline scenario based on emissions estimates from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Assessment Report 5 with feedback global warming potentials

Supplementary notes

The source added the following information 'Based on central estimates of economic growth and fossil fuel prices. Contains all agreed policies where decisions on policy design are sufficiently advanced to allow robust estimates of impact (i.e. including 'planned' policies). See annex D on policy savings for definitions of policy implementation statuses.'
It should be noted that emissions from thesesectors do not include the emissions from the generation of the electricity consumed, as these emissions are included in the energy supply sector.
