Greenhouse gas emissions from lime production in the UK 1990-2022

Greenhouse gas emissions from lime production in the United Kingdom have oscillated since 1990, peaking at 1.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in 1998. Currently, emissions from lime production average around 1.1 MtCO₂e. Industrial processes are one of the least emitting sources of GHG emissions in the UK. In this sector, cement production emissions are highest.

自1990年以来，英国生石灰生产过程中的温室气体排放量波动不定，于1998年达到峰值，即170万吨二氧化碳当量（MtCO₂e）。截至目前，生石灰生产的排放量平均约为110万吨二氧化碳当量。在工业流程中，生石灰生产是排放温室气体最少的源头之一。在该领域内，水泥生产的排放量位居首位。
