The graph illustrates 5 sectors responsible for varying levels of emission of carbon dioxide in the UK over a 30 year period.
Of the given sources, industrial combustion and power stations remain the highest throughout the period given, although power both decline overall, with power stations falling from a peak on just under 60 million tonnes in 1980 down to just over 40 million tonnes in 2000 and industrial combustion falling from approximately 65 million tonnes down to less than 45 million tonnes.
Both domestic production of carbon dioxide and the category labelled ‘others’ showed relatively little change over the period, beginning and ending at roughly the same level of 35 and 12 million tonnes respectively.
The only source of carbon dioxide to show marked rise over the period came from transport, nearly doubling from just over 20 million tonnes to heady 40.
