clch - CO2 emissions England [map - 2005 to 2019]

Northumberland's reduction in CO2 during this period was probably due to the closure of the smelter at Lynmouth and the associated power station. {Although, in 2022, I believe this now relies on Biomass for fuel instead of the previously locally-mined coal.
I don't think this takes into account the [net] removal of CO2 by the trees in the extensive areas of Kielder Forest, which is in Northumberland].
