This statistic shows the amount of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitted from the production of electricity from coal in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017. Nitrogen oxide emissions have been volatile over the years, but decreased significantly overall. In 2017, the amount of NOx emissions from the production of electricity from coal made up approximately 30,700 metric tons of sulphur dioxide (SO2) equivalent, compared with 500,400 metric tons in 1990.
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from the production of electricity from coal in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017
(in 1,000 metric tons of SO2 equivalent)
Characteristic
Emissions in thousand metric tons of SO2 equivalent
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is a highly reactive gas, that along with Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and Ammonia (NH3) is measured as a precursor to acid rain.
Sector classification is based on the NACE code, which is the industry standard classification system for economic activities in the European Community.
