Abstract

These data show consumption-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of UK households from 2001-2020. As demographic variables, income decile and age group are attached. Emissions are shown in two different ways. First, emissions are shown for each year individually. Second, emissions are shown as a 2007 equivalent. These second data show the emissions that consumption from the different years would have caused assuming the economic structure and emission coefficients from 2007. Data are reported as a carbon equivalent, meaning that all GHGs are converted into their carbon equivalent. The GHGs included are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride.
