Background quality report

This report provides a summary of quality issues relating to statistics on UK territorial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as providing details of the statistical publications we produce and the different approaches taken to reporting UK greenhouse gas emissions. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) official statistics for UK emissions are based on the UK’s greenhouse gas inventory (compiled by a consortium led by Ricardo Energy & Environment on behalf of DESNZ), and on DESNZ energy statistics.
