This statistic depicts the volume of greenhouse gases emissions associated with the United Kingdom (UK) energy supply sector, during selected years between 1990 and 2017. According to the source, between 1990 and 2017 there was a 60 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the energy supply sector. This decrease is mainly attributable to changes in the mix of fuels being used for electricity generation, including the growth of renewables, together with greater efficiency resulting from improvements in technology.
