Did you know we have a dedicated powers and duties tool?
Available to LG Inform Plus subscribers, it provides information on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. Advanced searching and filtering options make it easy to find specific powers and duties based on legislation, business function and keyword, and results are easily exported in commonly used formats.

CO2 emissions estimates - Industry and Commercial Other fuels (LA influence) (8236) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the estimate in kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (kt CO2e) emissions for industry and commercial other fuels within the scope of influence of Local Authorities.
The full dataset includes all emissions that occur within the boundaries of each local authority; the subset however excludes emissions that authorities do not have any direct influence over, these include: Motorways; EU Emissions Trading System sites; Diesel railways; Land use, Land Use Change, and Forestry (all emissions belonging to the LULUCF Net Emissions). Removing these emissions has a much bigger impact on some Local Authorities than others, as some Local Authorities have a much bigger proportion of emissions from the above sources than others. The industrial sectors in the NAEI are mapped using a combination of point source estimates of emissions and area source employment based distributions. For some sectors the NAEI UK total emissions estimate is entirely accounted for by point source emissions. In this instance all of the emissions would be mapped as point sources. In other cases, there are sectors that have no identified point sources, in which case all emissions are mapped as an area source. Many sectors however, are comprised of a combination of point source and area source emissions. In this situation point source emissions are mapped explicitly and the remaining residual emission is treated as an area source and distributed across the UK using modelled high resolution (1 km2) emission distributions based on detailed employment and fuel use data. Small industrial combustion is an example of a sector for which the area source distribution is particularly important but there are also some identified point sources.
