Carbon Emissions
(asked on 16th March 2015) - View Source
Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate his Department has made of how much cavity wall insulation has contributed to reduction of carbon dioxide emissions according to the Kyoto agreement protocols in each year since 2010.
The Department does not measure carbon savings per year from individual types of energy efficiency measure across the UK.
However, estimated carbon savings from energy efficiency policies are reported in our Updated Emissions Projections, which can be found on the government’s website:

Breakdown of the estimated number of UK dwelling insulated each year from 2010:
Year | Number of cavity wall installations |
April 2010 to March 2011 | 600,000* |
April 2011 to March 2012 | 660,000* |
April 2012 to March 2013 | 610,000* |
April 2013 to March 2014 | 400,000* |
The March 2015 cavity wall insulation installation statistics are still to be calculated
*This includes delivery through Government schemes and new build properties.
