This statistic shows the amount of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitted from the production of electricity from oil in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017. It shows that emissions decreased dramatically from 1990 to 2017, falling from 34,000 metric tons of sulphur dioxide (SO2) equivalent in 1990 to just 400 metric tons of sulphur dioxide equivalent in 2017.
Total nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from the production of electricity from oil 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
Sulfur 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.
