Synopsis: |
This is the fourth annual statement of emissions. It sets out the steps taken to calculate the net UK carbon account in respect of 2011. This is compared against the carbon budgets to determine whether they are being met and must not exceed the level of the carbon budget at the end of each budgetary period. In this statement for 2011, net UK emissions were 549.2 million tonnes (MtCO2e) of carbon dioxide equivalent. This is 41 MtCO2e (or just under 7percent) below net UK emissions in 2010. However 24.9 MtCO2e worth of carbon units were sold in 2011 by companies in the UK operating under the EU Emissions Trading System. So taking into account the use of these carbon units, this means the net UK carbon account in 2011 was around 573.9 MtCO2e. This is nearly 26 percent below base year emissions which were 774.3 MtCO2e. The net UK carbon account decreased by 4 percent between 2010 and 2011 which was a result primarily from a decrease in residential gas use. Residential emissions are heavily influenced by external temperatures and 2011 was a warmer than average year.However a reduction in demand for electricity and greater use of nuclear power for electricity generation also contributed to the overall decrease in emissions. Technical problems observed at some nuclear power stations in 2010 were resolved in 2011 leading to greater nuclear capacity. |
