Supplementary notes

* Solid/Manufactured Fuels include steam coal, anthracite, manufactured sold fuels, benzole, tars, blast furnace gas and coke oven gas.

Projected data is taken from the reference scenario, which is based on central estimates of economic growth and fossil fuel prices and contains all agreed policies where decisions on policy design are sufficiently advanced to allow robust estimates of impact (i.e. including "planned" policies).

The government published its Net Zero Strategy on 19 October 2021. Main changes in the Net Zero Strategy Baseline, when compared to previous reference scenarios, can be found on the Net Zero Strategy report, pages 312-313.
