Residential sector greenhouse gas emissions totaled an estimated 69 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2019. Although greenhouse gas emissions produced by the residential sector have fluctuated since 1990, there has been an overall decrease of roughly 13 percent. During this period, residential emissions were lowest in 2014, dropping to 65 MtCO2e. During this same period, 2014 had the highest mean annual temperature in the UK, meaning less heating was needed. Presently, the residential sector is the fourth most polluting sector in the UK, behind transport, energy supply, and business.
