UK power mix. In comparison, CCGT makes up for more than 40 percent.
Monthly power sector emissions in Great Britain are typically highest in the colder months, and during this period reached a high of 10.53 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in January 2017. Since then, monthly emissions have been in a downward trend. This is mainly due to the reduction of monthly emissions released from coal combustion. Whilst historically a major consumer of coal, this energy source is being phased out in Great Britain and replaced with cleaner energy sources such as renewables, nuclear, and natural gas. Presently, coal accounts for just two percent of the Monthly power sector emissions in Great Britain from 2015 to 2020, by source (in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
