GHG emissions from energy sector in comparison to other sectors most dramatically decreased during the 1990 - 1995 followed by a slight increase, because this sector is a major consumer of fossil fuels, which is characterized by a sharp decrease in consumption (see Fig. 2.22). The total GHG emissions of the sector in 2010 amounted to 33.1% of 1990 emissions. Simultaneously, with emissions cuts, its distribution to individual source categories has significantly changed. The share of GHG emissions in the energy production category was 39% in 1990, then by 1997 had risen to 51%, finally decreasing consistently and reaching 21% by 2010. The share of emissions in the industry and construction category was 8% in 1990 and by 2000 had increased to 9%, decreasing to 6% by 2010. The share of emissions in the transport category steadily grew over the entire period under review, from 15% in 1990 to 38% in 2010. The share of emissions in the other sectors category in 1990 was 33.5%, and decreased to 16% in 1997, with a consequent increase in 2010 to 23%. Emissions by the fugitive emissions from fuels category in 1990 amounted to 4.5% of the total emissions and for a long time did not significantly change, but after 2000, there was a sharp increase and by 2005 emissions peaked at 24.5% before decreasing to 11% in 2010. As a result, in 2010 the transport category became the category with the highest emissions, whereas in 1990 the highest emissions were observed in the energy category.
Vans will go electric and lorries will run on hydrogen dual-fuel under a £20 million government programme to cut emissions and improve air quality, Transport Minister John Hayes announced today (11 January 2017). The funding, announced at the Sustainable Road Transport Conference, in central London, is being given to 20 firms who set out plans for innovative ways to deploy low and zero emission vehicles. The freight industry accounts for about 30% of the UK’s CO2 transport emissions and the money will help fleets get their new vehicles on the roads from mid-2017 onwards. Transport Minister John Hayes said: Each one of these successful projects will help cut vehicle emissions, improving air quality and reducing pollution in towns and cities. This is yet another important step towards this government’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions from transport to help tackle climate change.We are already making headway through our investment in low emission vehicles, greener public transport and walking and cycling, as well as grants for innovative advanced biofuels projects. The funding is being delivered by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) and Innovate UK. The aim of the competition is to demonstrate new technologies and to encourage the widespread introduction of low and zero emission vehicles to UK fleets.Innovate UK’s Manufacturing and Materials Director Simon Edmonds said: These 20 projects around the UK will spearhead the uptake of the next generation of innovative low emission freight and fleet vehicles. The impact will benefit the environment, particularly in our big cities. It builds on the results of previous low carbon projects with OLEV, and the data collected from this new trial will be invaluable to future development and commercialisation of these vital technologies. The programme will help the UK meet its CO2 reduction targets – and represents another step towards the government’s target for all new cars and vans to be zero emission by 2040. There were over 40 applications for the scheme – and the winners include a scheme to increase battery range for electric vehicles.A partnership led by ULEMco from Liverpool will receive £1.31 million to carry out trials using innovative hydrogen dual-fuel technology, and UPS will get £1.33 million to invest in smart charging of its electric vans which run in central London. Air Liquide Group receives the largest amount of funding - £2.57 million – for its project trialling biogas in 86 lorries ranging from 26 tonnes to 44 tonnes. In addition, 5 refrigeration units will use a prototype liquid nitrogen system. The government is firmly committed to improving the UK’s air quality and cutting harmful emissions, that is why we have committed more than £2 billion since 2011 to increase the uptake of ultra low emission vehicles and support greener transport schemes. From September 2017, new types of diesel cars on UK roads will have to meet more stringent Euro 6 emissions limits, and these limits will tighten further in early 2020. In addition, in the Autumn Statement, we announced a further £290 million to support electric vehicles, low emission buses and taxis, and alternative fuels.
Finally, today a high pace of transformations in the sphere of public policy has already been set. Strategy 2050 and other strategic policy documents set ambitious targets: alternative AND renewable share In power industry: electricity to reach 50% by 2050: energy efficiency targets to reduce energy intensity of GDP 100 2030 2015 Ago energy efficiency, the target is to reduce the energy intensity of GDP by 10% by 2015 and by 25% by 2020 compared to the 2008 baseline; on water resources, the task is to solve problems with the provision of

In addition to the goals for 2030 and the policy measures required to achieve them, the national integrated energy and climate plan presents the impact of the decided policy measures on the estimated development course of greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy and energy efficiency until 2040. The plan covers all five dimensions of the EU&#39;s energy union: decommissioning from coal (including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy), energy efficiency, energy security, the internal energy market, and research, innovation and competitiveness. In addition, the plan describes the effects of the planned policy measures, e.g. to the energy system, greenhouse gas emissions and discharges caused by sinks, economic development, the environment and citizens&#39; health. The plan also assesses the impact of planned and existing policy measures on future investment needs. The annual climate report required by the National Climate Act monitors the achievement of the goals of the burden-sharing sector set for 2020 and 2030, as well as the overall emission development in relation to the carbon neutrality goal of 2035. It seems likely that Finland will achieve the emission reduction obligation for the period 2013-2020. The activities of the period 2021-2030 are also planned in such a way that the obligation is fulfilled with a sufficient safety margin. The policy measures reported in the annual climate report in accordance with the Climate Act show that several new control measures have already been put into use to implement the medium-term climate plan, and more are planned. Emission reductions will be needed in every sector, but from the point of view of the whole, the emission development of the transport sector is decisive. It is affected by the amount of biofuels, the development of traffic performance and the renewal of the car fleet. Annual fluctuations in the share of biofuels are reflected in the emission development of both the transport sector and the entire load-sharing sector.

Renewables Accelerating the transition from fossil fuels depends critically on how quickly we can roll out new renewables. Our Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution has already put the UK at the forefront of many renewable technologies, delivering 40 billion of private investment in under two years. By the end of 2023 we are set to increase our capacity by a further 15 per cent. But now we must go further and faster, building on our global leadership in offshore wind. Offshore wind
Immediate effect from an increased share of electricity from renewable sources is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as this production does not generate any emissions. Bulgaria has a significant potential of renewable energy sources and the encouragement of investments therein directly contributes to diversification of the energy mix and to slowing down the process of exhaustion of local energy resources. An important aspect here is the decentralized production of energy and the consumption of energy from renewable sources by households. The specific measure to be implemented is to increase the share of energy for heating and cooling from renewable sources which will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 488000 tonnes by 2020.

The total funding committed by this government to support the transition to zero emission vehicles is £3.5 billion. This includes recent investments like an additional £350 million to support the electrification of UK vehicles and their supply chains, as part of our £1 billion commitment, and a further £620 million for targeted electric vehicle grants and infrastructure, with a focus on local on-street residential charge points.The government will provide grants of up to £1,500 for electric cars priced under £32,000, with currently around 20 models on the market.Grant rates for the Plug in Van Grant (purchase subsidies) will now be £5,000 for large vans and £2,500 for small vans (and which includes also PHEVs - whereas car subsidies including only BEVs and FCEVs), with a limit of 1,000 per customer per year.Motorcycle and moped grants will also be changing, with the government now providing £500 off the cost of a motorcycle, and £150 for mopeds, with a price cap on vehicles of £10,000.
This publication provides the final estimates of UK territorial greenhouse gas emissions going back to 1990. Estimates are presented by source in February of each year. They are updated in March of each year to include estimates by end-user, and in June to include estimates by Standard Industrial Classification SIC. These statistics covers emissions that occur within the UKs borders. When emissions are reported by source, emissions are attributed to the sector that emits them directly. When emissions are reported by end-user, energy supply emissions by source are reallocated in accordance with where the end-use activity occurred. This reallocation of emissions is based on a modelling process. For example, all the carbon dioxide produced by a power station is allocated to the power station when reporting on a source basis.
However, when applying the end-user method, these emissions are reallocated to the users of this electricity, such as domestic homes or large industrial users. BEIS does not estimate emissions outside the UK associated with UK consumption, however the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs publishes estimates of the UKs carbon footprint annually. For the purposes of reporting, greenhouse gas emissions are allocated into a small number of broad, high level sectors known as National Communication sectors, which are as follows energy supply, business, transport, public, residential, agriculture, industrial processes, land use land use change and forestry LULUCF, and waste management. These high-level sectors are made up of a number of more detailed sectors, which follow the definitions set out by the International Panel on Climate Change IPCC, and which are used in international reporting tables which are submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC every year. This is a National Statistics publication and complies with the Code of Practice for Statistics.

2.2 Setting the framework at EU level The EU climate target is achieved on the one hand through emissions trading (ETS: essentially large emitters from the energy and industry sectors and aviation within the EEA) and on the other hand through differentiated contributions from the member states in all other sectors (non-ETS). The EU climate targets for 2020 (-20 percent compared to 1990) and 2030 (at least -40 percent compared to 1990) are divided into targets for the ETS area and the non-ETS area. The reference year 2005 was chosen for both sub-goals. In addition, under the so-called LULUCF regulation, the member states are obliged to maintain the climate protection effect of managed terrestrial ecosystems. As required by the Paris Agreement, the EU and its Member States, including Germany, have submitted their Joint Contribution (NDC) to the implementation of the Agreement to the Secretariat of the Framework Convention on Climate Change. Accordingly, by 2030, GHG emissions in the EU are to be reduced by at least 40 percent compared to 1990. Within the EU, it was also decided that by 2030 the share of renewable energies in final energy consumption in the EU would be increased to at least 32 percent and primary energy consumption in the EU would be reduced by at least 32.5 percent compared to the underlying reference development. These goals are relevant for the integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) as the new European planning and monitoring instrument of the EU member states. In addition, a decision will also have to be made in the EU regarding a renewed notification or an update of the EU climate protection contribution until 2030.
