Final Greenhouse Gas Emissions Tables 2017

Final UK greenhouse gas emissions national statistics 1990-2017
This publication provides the latest estimates of UK greenhouse gas emissions going back to 1990. These data tables were published on 5th February 2019, and updated on 28th March 2019 to
add emissions estimates by end-user and fuel type, and updated uncertainty data.
When emissions are reported by source, emissions are attributed to the sector that emits them directly. When emissions are reported by end-user, emissions by source are reallocated in
accordance with where the end-use activity occurred. This reallocation of emissions is based on a modelling process. For example, all the carbon dioxide produced by a power station is allocated
to the power station when reporting on a source basis. However, when applying the end-user method, these emissions are reallocated to the users of this electricity, such as domestic homes or
large industrial users.
For the purposes of reporting, greenhouse gas emissions are allocated into a small number of broad, high level sectors as follows: energy supply, business, transport, public, residential,
agriculture, industrial processes, land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF), and waste management.
These high level sectors are made up of a number of more detailed sectors, which follow the definitions set out by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and which are used in
international reporting tables which are submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) every year.
The basket of greenhouse gases covered by these statistics is based on that covered by the Kyoto Protocol, and consists of seven gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide,
hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride. The last four gases are collectively referred to as fluorinated gases or F gases. In accordance with international
reporting and carbon trading protocols, each of these gases is weighted by its global warming potential (GWP), so that total greenhouse gas emissions can be reported on a consistent basis (in
carbon dioxide equivalent units). The GWP for each gas is defined as its warming influence relative to that of carbon dioxide. The GWPs used in these statistics are from Working Group 1 of the
IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007.
The geographical coverage for these statistics is UK only except where stated otherwise. These statistics are used to monitor progress against the UK’s emissions reductions targets.

1. Emissions reported to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) comprise of net emissions from the UK, Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories.
2. The entire time series is revised each year to take account of methodological improvements in the UK emissions inventory.
3. LULUCF is land use, land use change and forestry.
4. The Crown Dependencies are the Bailiwick of Jersey, the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
5. Only overseas territories that are party to the UK ratification of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change are included in this table. These are the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar.

: means data are not available as there are no F gas emissions in these sectors
2. The F gases included in this table are Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), Perfluorocarbons (PFC), Sulphur hexafluoride (SF 6) and Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)
3. F gas emissions by source and end-user are identical, therefore a breakdown by end-user sector is not provided.

Footnotes:
1. Emissions arising from use of fuels from UK international aviation and shipping bunkers do not count towards the UK greenhouse gas emissions totals as reported to the UNFCCC and the European Commission, or used for assessing progress against UK emissions reduction targets.
2. Whether emissions from refuelling at UK-based international aviation and shipping bunkers can be used as an accurate estimate of UK international aviation and shipping emissions depends on what assumptions are being made about how to allocate international aviation and shipping emissions to different countries.
3. Includes aircraft and shipping movements originating in the UK travelling to the UK Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories.

b
means time series break
1. The EU ETS is the EU Emissions Trading System.
2. The Kyoto Protocol base year consists of emissions of CO 2, CH4 and N2O in 1990, and of HFCs, PFCs and SF6 in 1995. Includes an allowance for net emissions from LULUCF in 1990.
3. The Kyoto Protocol target includes emissions from the UK, Crown Dependencies and those UK Overseas Territories that have ratified the Kyoto Protocol. The target uses a narrower definition for the land use, land use change and forestry sector (LULUCF) than is used elsewhere in these data tables.
4. Kyoto Protocol baseline emissions are based on final figures from the UK's 2012 greenhouse gas inventory, as this is the inventory that was used to assess compliance with the UK's target for the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol.
5. The second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol will run from 2013 to 2020. The UK's target for this period has not yet been finalised.
6. UK Carbon Budgets were introduced in 2008. Figures include emissions solely from the UK and exclude emissions from Crown Dependencies and UK Overseas Territories. NF 3 emissions are also excluded.
7. The carbon budget base year consists of emissions of CO 2, CH4 and N2O in 1990, and of HFCs, PFCs and SF 6 in 1995. Carbon budget percentage reductions against base year may not be consistent with target percentage reductions set out in the Carbon Plan and elsewhere, as the base year is revised each year to take account of
revisions to 1990 and 1995 emissions data.
8. Emissions and percentage reductions against baseline shown for the first carbon budget period (2008 to 2012) are the final figures for the first carbon budget which were reported in 2014. This means that there is a time series break between 2012 and 2013, as figures from 2013 onwards are based on the most recent greenhouse gas
inventory.
9. From 2013, the EU ETS entered its third phase, which will end in 2020. Changes to the operating rules in this period mean that Member States no longer receive a national cap as the ETS operates at installation level. Therefore a ‘notional’ cap is estimated for the purpose of carbon budgets accounting.
10. The geographical coverage for the ESD is the UK & Gibraltar.
11. ESD emissions are calculated as total GHG emissions for the UK and Gibraltar minus NF 3 and LULUCF emissions, minus verified emissions from stationary installations under the EU ETS, minus CO 2 emissions from civil aviation.
12. ESD emissions for 2017 are provisional and subject to change, pending completion of the EU review and compliance process for this year.

Footnotes:
1. Figures include emissions for the UK, Crown Dependencies and the Overseas Territories. Uncertainties are not calculated for different geographical coverages but would be expected to be similar.
2. The GWP (Global Warming Potential) of a greenhouse gas measures its effectiveness in global warming over 100 years relative to carbon dioxide. The GWPs used in these statistics are from Working Group 1 of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007.
3. 1990 and 2017 estimates, and the percentage change, are presented as the central estimate from the model. These differ from the actual emissions estimates.
4. Expressed as a percentage relative to the mean value 2017 emissions. Calculated as 0.5*R/E where R is the difference between 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles and E is the mean.
5. Equivalent to a 95 per cent probability that the percentage change between 1990 and 2017 is between the two values shown. Values include uncertainties for overseas territories data.
6. CO2 emissions are net emissions. Total emissions minus removals.
7. Totals will be similar but not exactly the same as those presented for Table 11.
