This is very low compared to the equivalent figure for electricity produced by natural gas turbines, which is in excess of 400g CO<sub>2</sub>/kWh, and similar to the IPCC's estimate for widespread non-baseload form of electricity generation, such as wind.</p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p>The Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology report ‘Carbon Footprint of Electricity Generation' states that the operation of the nuclear power station accounts for less than 1% of the total life cycle emissions of nuclear electricity generation.</p><p /> <p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Witney answering member printed Mr David Cameron question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1467 label Biography information for Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton
