The Government published statistics for the 2006 Carbon Dioxide (CO2 ) emissions at Local Authority and Government Office Region level on September 18 2008 The figures represent all UK emissions allocated to Local Authority areas on an end-user basis, incorporating all business, household and transport emissions, so that they are distributed according to the location of energy consumption. Up until now these statistics have been “experimental” but this is the first year that allows a meaningful year on year comparison of CO2 emissions in local areas.
