Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from petrochemical and carbon black production in the United Kingdom (UK) are projected to drop to one million metric tons in 2040, down from approximately three million metric tons in 2020.
Projected carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from fuel combustion in petrochemical and carbon black production in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2020 to 2040
(in million metric tons)
Net Zero Strategy baseline scenario based on emissions estimates from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Assessment Report 5 without feedback global warming potentials
Supplementary notes
Based on central estimates of economic growth, fossil fuel prices, electricity generation costs, UK population and other key variables regularly updated. Contains all agreed policies where decisions on policy design are sufficiently advanced to allow robust estimates of impact (i.e. including “planned” policies).
