This statistic shows the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions attributable to the production of electricity through gas in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017. It shows that greenhouse gas emissions were very low in 1990 but increased significantly over the following years. In 2010, emissions peaked at 63.5 million metric tons and totaled 47.8 million metric tons of CO2e in 2017.
