About this data
- The nations' inventories are split out from the UK inventory, so they are consistent with each other and with the UK figures. About 10 million tonnes a year (mostly from offshore oil and gas) can't be allocated to a nation.
- Sectors are DESNZ's: electricity supply is power stations; fuel supply is oil and gas extraction, refining, coal mining and gas leaks; buildings and product uses covers heating homes, offices and public buildings, and the use of products such as refrigerants and aerosols; industry covers manufacturing and construction, including the processes that produce CO2 directly, such as making cement.
- Territorial emissions: greenhouse gases emitted within the UK, net of removals by forests and soils. Emissions from international aviation and shipping aren't included, as under international reporting rules.
- The inventories cover 1990, 1995 and every year from 1998.
