Energy and emissions projections 2022 to 2040

Summary

The UK Department for Energy Security & Net Zero publishes annual Energy and Emissions Projections (EEP) to provide a baseline for assessing future climate policy and meeting international reporting obligations. This 2022-2040 report projects future energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions under existing and EEP-ready policies. The projections indicate the UK is on track to meet its carbon budget 4 (2023-2027) and shows a reduced gap for carbon budgets 5 and 6, although some sectors like domestic transport show increased projected emissions due to updated assumptions.
