This statistic shows the amount of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions attributable to freight transport by road in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017, in thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). It shows that although N2O emissions decreased consistently from 1990 to 2005, emission levels have increased afterwards and were higher in 2017 than they were in 1990. In 1990, freight transport by road was responsible for 161,300 metric tons of CO2e, compared with 218,500 metric tons of CO2e in 2017.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from freight transport by road in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1990 to 2017
(in 1,000 metric tons of CO2e*)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a major greenhouse gas and air pollutant.
Freight transport by road includes removal services. Sector classification is based on the NACE code, which is the industry standard classification system for economic activities in the European Community.
