Carbon emissions displaced by renewable electricity generation have been calculated as renewable electricity generation multiplied by the average emissions factor for electricity supplied by fossil fuel stations in 2014. A breakdown of electricity generation for the UK countries can be found in Energy Trends table ET 6.1 at:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/energy-trends-section-6-renewables<\/a><\/p>

Carbon dioxide emissions factors for electricity supplied can be found in table 5D of the Digest of UK Energy Statistics, 2015, available at:<\/p>

Information on the carbon savings from the total renewable heat produced in the UK is not available. Chapter 6 of the Digest of UK Energy Statistics provides more information on renewable heat, and shows that 2,730 ktoe of renewable fuels were used to generate heat in 2014.
