The bar chart compares the amount of carbon emissions from three types of emissions – gas, oil, and coal – in the UK from 1990 to 2010, measured in million tons.
Overall, gas experienced a general upward trend, whose dominance became apparent in the last decade of the period, whereas coal declined in amount throughout the period. Lastly, oil remained relatively stable during the period.
In terms of gas emissions, this figure accounted for around 220 million tons. In the following decade, it grew dramatically to exactly 300 million. In the final two years, though, the growth was slower, as it reached only approximately 320 million by 2010.
Focusing on the amount of oil emission, this category started at roughly 270. Then, it dropped considerably to around 240, before going back to approximately 260. In the last decade, it declined steadily, reporting roughly 210 by 2010.
Looking at the amounts of coil, this figure started with dominance, contributing 300 million tons of carbon emission. Over the period, however, this number decreased significantly, without any increase, presenting 180 million tons in 2010.
