Simple energy saving measures at home could cut more CO2 than thought

New research suggests that simple energy saving measures at home could cut Britain’s CO2 emissions by a third (40 megatonnes a year). This is much higher than previously thought by the government, as the original figures were based on an average emissions rate for all the different types of power station, whereas the power stations that respond to extra demand are usually the higher carbon coal and gas ones.

This new research comes from the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College London, and more details can be seen on the Independent website.
