Refined petroleum: NOx emissions 1990-2017 Statistic

This statistic shows the total amount of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitted by the manufacture of refined petroleum products in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017. It shows that the emissions have decreased over the period, from 27,000 metric tons of sulphur dioxide (SO2) equivalent in 1990 to 11,400 metric tons in 2017.

Supplementary notes

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is a highly reactive gas, that along with Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and Ammonia (NH3) is measured as a precursor to acid rain.

Sector classification is based on the NACE code, which is the industry standard classification system for economic activities in the European Community.
