Hemel Hempstead Fire
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many tonnes of carbon she estimates were emitted as a consequence of the fire at Hemel Hempstead; and what percentage of the UK's annual carbon emission this constitutes.
- Answer
-
Whilst it is too early to say exactly how much fuel was burnt during the fire at the Buncefield oil depot earlier this month, a worst case scenario would suggest that approximately 42.9 kilo tonnes of carbon were released which would equate to about 0.03 per cent. of the UK's carbon emissions for 2005.
