According to government data released on 28th March, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Britain decreased by 5.4% in 2023, primarily driven by reduced gas usage for electricity generation and heating homes. Achieving the country's goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050 will necessitate significant changes in dietary habits, transportation methods, and electricity generation.   The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) attributed the decrease in emissions to lower gas demand in the electricity supply and buildings and product uses sectors. Total GHG emissions in 2023 were estimated at 384.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.   The electricity sector, which accounts for about 11% of Britain's GHG emissions, experienced the largest decline, with gas power generation dropping by 21.1%. This reduction was facilitated by increased imports of electricity from France, supported by a resurgence in French nuclear power output. Additionally, decreased energy demand, particularly for heating, contributed to a 6.2% decrease in emissions in the buildings and product uses sector.   Factors such as high energy costs and reduced fuel consumption in industries like iron and steel contributed to an 8% decrease in emissions from the industrial sector.    In the realm of domestic transportation, encompassing road travel, aviation, and shipping, emissions decreased by 1.4%. The emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary greenhouse gas, were calculated at 302.8 million tonnes, representing a 6.6% decline compared to the figures from 2022.
