CO2 emissions estimates - Domestic total (LA influence) (8242) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the estimate in kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (kt CO2e) emissions for the domestic sector 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. This is the sum of CO2 emission estimates for: Domestic Electricity; Domestic Gas; Domestic 'Other Fuels'. This is the estimate in kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (kt CO2e) emissions for the for households. Domestic emissions represent emissions from energy consumption in and around the home, including emissions attributable to the use of electricity, but not activities by private individuals elsewhere, such as personal travel. This sector can be influenced by the fuel types used, the type and condition of the housing (including its insulation), the average temperature (urban areas can be much warmer and therefore easier to heat than rural areas), average household size, type of household and the income and preferences of the occupiers.
