Does working from home reduce carbon emissions?

It has often been suggested that remote-working is a solution to cut carbon emissions, particularly as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic which triggered a surge in home working patterns. While this might be the case in some instances, especially for people who would drive to work every day, it is important to not overestimate the impact this might have on carbon footprints. Commutes only account for 14 per cent of all car trips, so are not the largest contributor to emissions.

In a scenario where a household moves further away from a city centre because they do not need to commute, the impact is not clear-cut. Provided they did not use public transport for their commute, they might save carbon on that journey. However, they may end up using a car more for other purposes- which may explain why traffic is back to its pre-pandemic levels despite the fact that many people are still working from home. As a result, their total carbon footprint would either remain unchanged or increase, especially if they moved to a larger home that uses more energy. For this reason home owners in the area are considering going green.
