- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs pursuant to her Answer to the hon. Member for Morley and Rothwell (Collin Challen) of 28 March 2006, Official Report, column 843W, on pollution, what the levels for(a) international aviation and (b) international shipping were in (i) 1990 and (ii) 2004.
- Answer
-
Emissions from international aviation and shipping can be estimated from refuelling from bunkers at UK airports and ports (whether by UK or non-UK operators).Between 1990 and 2004, emissions from aviation fuel use more than doubled whilst emissions from UK shipping bunker fuel use fell by about an eighth, although UK operators purchase most of their fuel outside the UK.
