Carbon dioxide emissions from flaring in the United Kingdom totaled 1.4 million metric tons (MtCO₂) in 2023. Although UK flaring emissions grew 12 percent year-on-year in 2023, levels have halved since 2013.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from flaring in the United Kingdom from 2013 to 2023
(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide)
These data include flaring from upstream, downstream oil and gas. Emissions have been calculated using flared natural gas volumes based on standard cubic meters (standardized using a Gross Calorific Value (GCV) of 40 MJ/m3) and the standard conversion factor for emissions from the IPCC. Perfect combustion has been assumed.
