In 2023, air emissions of greenhouse gases in high digital intensive industries in the UK were at 11.0 metric tons of CO2 equivalent per USD. Forecasts indicate this value will remain steady at 11.0 for the years 2024 through 2028, suggesting no year-on-year change. As such, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years, including past and forecasted years, is effectively 0%, indicating a stabilization in emissions intensity.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential regulatory changes targeting emissions reductions in the digital sector.
Technological advancements that may enhance energy efficiency.
Increased corporate sustainability commitments which could drive down emissions.
