§ Norman BakerTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will estimate the carbon dioxide emissions from the aviation sector in each year since 1990; and what the projected figures are for each year to 2020. [184852]
§ Mr. MorleyTable A shows the estimated emissions of carbon dioxide from domestic and international flights departing from UK airports. The estimates are expressed in million tonnes of carbon per year (MtC/yr), for the period 1990–2002 as published in the latest UK Greenhouse gas inventory, released in April 2004.

Table B shows these data for the UK, also in MtC/yr.
Table B: Total (international plus domestic) projected emissions for UK aviation emissions, MtC/yr Total emissions 2010 10.8 2020 14.9 These projections are based on emissions from all flights departing the UK. Emissions projections for intervening years to 2020 are not available.
