This statistic compares total end-user greenhouse gas emissions with transport end-user greenhouse gas emissions in the United Kingdom (UK) between 1990 and 2017, weighting the figures for global warming potential. Total greenhouse gas emissions fell from 794.4 MtCO2e emissions in 1990 to 460.2 MtCO2e in 2017 with a steady decline. The transport emissions decreased overall as well, reaching 125.9 MTCO2e in 2017.
Transport end-user greenhouse gas emissions compared with total emissions in the United Kingdom between 1990 and 2017
(in MtCO2e)
MtCO2e - million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (this method weights emissions by global warming potential)
The end-user calculation reallocates source (i.e. energy supply) emissions to the end user, thus the figures represent emissions from the whole chain rather than just direct emissions.
