CO2 Emissions, A Review of the UK’s Domestic Target
Introduction
Climate change and global warming are unequivocally the
biggest and most fundamental problems facing planet earth
and mankind t d
d ki d today. Gl b l warming and climate change are
Global i d li t h
expected to have a cataclysmic effect across the globe. The
worst effects of climate change can be avoided if
greenhouse gases incorporating carbon dioxide (CO2) in the
atmosphere are stabilised instead of being allowed to
increase.

CO2 Emissions, A Review of the UK’s Domestic Target
Introduction Cont.
The United Kingdom (UK) is striving to meet International,
European Union (EU) and national targets of CO2 emission
reduction through various strategies but mainly through the
Building Regulations – Part ‘L’ to satisfy the
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the
Kyoto Protocol (KP)
(KP).

The Road to Kyoto
• 1896 Svante Arrhenius
• Seuss and Revelle in 1957
• Stockholm 1972
• The Montreal Protocol was established in 1987
• Conference - Changing Atmosphere in Toronto 1988
• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
• Rio de Janeiro 1992

KYOTO PROTOCOL
Cut overall emissions of greenhouse gases by
5.2%
5 2% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012
2008 2012
EUROPEAN UNION (EU)
Signed up to an agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by
8% on 1990 levels during the years 2008 – 2012
UNITED KINGDOM (UK)
Target is to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by
12.5% below 1990 levels as an average between 2008-2012
UK DOMESTIC GOAL
Cut UK’s emissions of CO2 by
20% below 1990 levels by 2010

CO2 Emissions, A Review of the UK’s Domestic Target
The UK is currently on Target to meet the commitments of the KP
The predictions indicated and by the UK’s Government own admission,
the UK is currently NOT on target to achieve the domestic goal
The prediction of CO2 emissions by 2010 is currently 141.3MtC
The UK’s domestic goal is 130.8MtC by 2010
This equates to a shortfall of 10.5MtC and an overall CO2

Discussion of Results
The case study shows the sustainable building
can potentially save 37,000 KgCO2 / year
90,000 53,000 37,000 KgCO
90 000 – 53 000 = 37 000 K CO2 / year
It is important to note the potential savings
through sustainable construction at tye case
study in Manchester is measured in CO2. The
UK domestic target is measured in CO2 but the
target shortfall is defined in carbon
carbon.

CO2 Emissions, A Review of the UK’s Domestic Target
Discussion of Results Cont.
The current predicted shortfall of the UK domestic target is
10.5MtC. Buildings account for 48% emissions therefore 48% of
the shortfall is attributed to the built environment The Built
environment.
environment should therefore consider saving 5MtC/year to assist
the UK to get back on track to meet the domestic target.
Calculation:
(37000 x 12 ) / 44 = 10000KgC
10,000
10 000 / 1000 = 10 tC
Shortfall:
5,000,000 / 10 = 500,000 Required Sustainable Buildings in the UK

The UK will probably achieve Kyoto Protocol 12.5%

The domestic target in not currently on schedule
One sustainable case study has showed 10tC/Year
