The bar chart illustrates the quantities of greenhouse gas emissions produced in millions of tonnes of CO2 equivalent in five different sectors in Britain for the years 2010 and 2020.
Overall, there is an upward trend in emissions generated in all sectors in 2010 compared to 2020. While energy supply contributes the highest amount of pollution, agriculture had the least impact on environmental pollution in both years.
In 2010, the UK was impacted by the energy supply sector, which contributed around 250 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, rising almost 65% more than in 2020. Moreover, two sectors, business and residential, accounted for nearly 70 million. Conversely, the transport sector reached around 150 million in generating emissions. However, the least contributing sector was agriculture in both years, at almost 48 million of carbon dioxide.
While two types of areas generated nearly 100 million of carbon in 2020, energy supply and transport, another two accounted for around 65 million of emissions, business and residential, which was lower by one-third than in 2010. Despite this, agriculture is the most efficient sector, producing the minimum amount of carbon compared to all groups generated.
