All greenhouse gases | 11,168 | 11,141 | 11,634 | 11,510 | 11,602 | 11,470 | 11,686 | 12,020 | 12,175 | 12,372 |

1. The footnotes to Table 6.13 also apply to this table; though note that emisions of methane and nitrous oxide from road transport are based on vehicle kilometres without being constrained to a UK total which is based on fuel sales.
There are no emissions of other greenhouse gases by Transport in the Inventory.
2. The figures for greenhouse gas emissions are expressed in terms of their Global Warming Potential in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. To convert from tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent to tonnes of other gases multiply by the following factors:
methane - 1/21, nitrous oxide - 1/310.
