UK greenhouse gas emissions fell to the lowest level in over 150 years, as coal hit a 400-year low

A new analysis found that in 2025, greenhouse gas emissions in the U.K. fell to 364 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent — the ​​lowest since 1872. Emissions have now fallen in 27 of the 36 years since 1990.

Coal use in the country was cut in half, dropping to levels last seen in 1600, thanks to the end of coal power, closures, and industry issues. Gas use fell to the lowest level since 1992.

Notably, oil use also fell by 0.9%, despite a rise in car traffic, thanks to more than 700,000 new electric vehicles, electric vans, and plug-in hybrids.

Why is this good news? Emissions in the U.K. are now 54% below 1990 levels, all while its GDP has nearly doubled — proving that the clean energy transition is not just good for the planet, it’s good economically for communities and entire countries.
