FACTBOX - Key facts from Britain's low carbon route map

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain outlined on Wednesday how it plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions and tackle climate change.

Following are the key elements of the plan.

INDUSTRY

The government said the low carbon sector would be one of the few areas of the economy to grow during the recession and beyond. The UK low carbon goods and services sector is expected to grow by more than 4 percent per year up to 2014/15.

The global low carbon market could expand to at least 4.3 trillion pounds by 2015 from 3 trillion pounds in 2007/8 if a deal is reached at climate talks in Copenhagen in December.

The number of people employed in the sector could rise to more than 1 million by 2015, from 880,000 today.

In regard to housing, only zero carbon homes will be built from 2016, the government said.

TRANSPORT

The government said it will invest up to 10 million pounds in the deployment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure out of a total funding package of 405 million for the low carbon sector announced in the 2009 Budget.
