Total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the year to Q3 2012 have been estimated to have been 560.7m tonnes of carbon doixide equivalent (MtCO2e), an increase of 0.3% on the previous quarter (559.1 MtCO2e). The temperature adjusted measure was estimated at 569.6MtCO2e, 0.3% lower than the previous quarter (571.0MtCO2e).
Total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for Q3 2012 have been provisionally estimated to have been 467.7Mt, an increase of 0.4% on the previous quarter (466.1Mt). Temperature adjusted emissions were estimated at 476.6Mt a decrease of 0.3% on the previous quarter (478.0Mt).
Both the actual emissions and the temperature adjusted measure showed only a very small change on the previous quarter and both actual and temperature emissions were similar to the same quarter 2011.
Source sectors' actual CO2 emissions as Moving Actual Total (MAT) show energy supply as the biggest contributor to the 467.7Mt total with 192.1MtCO2e, an increase of 1.3%, followed by transport with 117.9Mt, down 0.5%, business emissions totalled 71.6Mt (-0.8%) and residential emissions 70.1Mt (+0.7%). The public sector reduced their CO2 emissions by 0.5% contributing the least with 7.4Mt with 'other' making up the remainder with 8.7%, a decrease of 0.3%.
