The document summarizes 2003 energy statistics and carbon dioxide emissions for Oxford, England. It reports that total CO2 emissions were 827,095 tons for the year, and the average emissions per citizen was 5.8 tons, lower than the national UK average of 8.9 tons per citizen. It also describes a case study and model for estimating the potential for installing solar heating and photovoltaic systems on dwellings in Oxford to help reduce CO2 emissions.
