In 2022, Bracknell Forest’s territorial emissions (those produced due to activities taking place in the borough) were 410 ktCO2e (3.2 tCO2e per person). These break down as shown by the graph below:
As this shows, electricity and gas use in buildings and transport are by far the most significant contributors to this footprint. Domestic housing and road transport account for the majority of these emissions respectively.
Negative contributions from land use, mainly from forests, are not shown but are around 19 ktCO2e.
Data taken from 2005 to 2022 UK local and regional greenhouse gas emissions, UK Government, 27 June 2024.
2022 is the most recent year for which this data is available.
These cover the emissions released within the boundaries of the local authority itself, as well as emissions associated with generating electricity, producing and processing fuel and disposing of waste which is used or generated in the area. Net emissions removal from land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) are not shown on the graph.
