Today’s report - Key messages
• Limited progress on solid wall insulation, low-carbon heat and energy efficiency improvements in commercial and industrial sectors.
• Underlying emissions reductions not enough to meet the 3rd and 4th carbon budgets – further Government action required to strengthen policies this Parliament.
• Economy-wide emissions rose 3.5% – due to relatively cold winter months compared to 2011 and switching from gas to coal in power generation.
• Good progress on some measures such as adding new wind generation, insulating lofts and cavity walls, and improving the efficiency of new cars – but challenges sustaining progress in future.

CO2 emissions rose 3.5% in 2012 in the context of colder winter weather and a gas-to-coal switch in power generation. Small underlying emissions reduction

Gross traded sector emissions rose by 5% in 2012 mainly due to the gas to coal switch. Deep cuts required to meet future budgets.

The price of carbon in the EU ETS has fallen further in 2012 and 2013 – important for the EU to put in place measures to strengthen the price

Surface transport emissions fell by 1.3% in 2011. NAEI estimates suggest that within this, emissions from vans increased, while those from cars and HGVs fell.

New car CO2 fell 3.6% to 133 gCO2/km in 2012gCO2/km
#cccprog13
25
New van CO2 fell 4.1% to 187 gCO2/km in 2012
Note: SMMT publish an alternative estimate from 2011 onwards
It is anticipated that the European Commission will publish a strategy for HGV emissions in summer 2013, which is expected to consider regulating whole emissions over the vehicle lifetime after 2020.

Car km fell in 2012 – response to higher fuel prices, other factors?

Agriculture emissions estimates remained unchanged from 2010 – but are highly uncertain. Need for better evidence to frame policy response.

Waste emissions fell by 3% in 2011, and are now 64% below 1990 levels. This is largely due to reduced methane emissions from landfill. Landfill bans should be considered

Non-CO2 emissions arising from industry, transport, buildings and energy supply fell 4% in 2011 – EU legislation on F-gases should reflect full potential for low-carbon alternatives
