In 2024, the processed output of carbon monoxide in the UK stands at 0.014 metric tons per capita, continuing a downward trajectory from previous years. From 2024 to 2028, the output is expected to decrease with year-on-year reductions as follows: 2025 by 7.1% to 0.013, 2026 by 15.4% to 0.011, 2027 by 11.8% to 0.0097, and 2028 by 15.5% to 0.0082. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 indicates an average annual decline of approximately 12%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in carbon capture and storage that may further reduce emissions.
- Policy shifts towards stricter emission regulations that could accelerate the decline.
- Increasing public and corporate pressure for sustainability, potentially leading to new innovations in emission reduction.
