UK: residential CO₂ emissions 1990-2040

The main source of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from the residential sector in the United Kingdom is the use of gas for heating and cooking. Carbon dioxide emissions from this sector are expected to rise slightly over the next two decades, reaching an estimated 68 million metric tons by 2040.

Supplementary notes

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).

Emissions from this sector does not include those from the generation of the electricity consumed, as these emissions are included in the energy supply sector.
