4. Road transport Brighton & Hove
Road transport emissions include both freight and
passenger transport, both private and for business
purposes. The estimates are made on the basis of the
distribution of traffic. This means that some of the
emissions within an authority represent through
traffic, or part of trips into or out of the area whether by
residents or non-residents.

5. Domestic CO2 emissions
National picture: In 2009, about 47 per cent of
domestic end-user emissions arose from gas use, 42
per cent from electricity, and 10 per cent from
consumption of other fuels. Between 2005 and
2009, there was a decrease in domestic gas
consumption of 16%.

6. Industry and Commercial CO2 emissions
National picture: the industry and commercial sector had
the highest share of end-user emissions in 43 per cent of
authorities. The domestic sector the highest share in 32
per cent, and the road transport sector had the highest
share in 25 per cent of authorities.
