UK: nuclear power GHG emissions 1990-2017

This statistic shows the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions attributable to the production of nuclear power in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017. It shows that greenhouse gas emissions have increased over the years, particularly after 1995. In 2014 emissions peaked at 108 thousand metric tons of CO2e, before decreasing to 94,600 metric tons of CO2e in 2017.
