7 “Our gas network supplies an increasing proportion of green gas (hydrogen and biomethane) and is made ready for a fully decarbonised gas future.”

8 Commercial sector heat consumption includes consumption other than Industrial, Transport and Domestic consumption, and will include some Agriculture and Public Sector consumption depending on the end-use.

9 The Climate Change Plan: Monitoring Report 2022 included a provisional figure for 2020. This figure has subsequently been finalised.

13 As per our previous two annual CCP Monitoring Reports, 2019 saw 1,513 (6.4%) new-build domestic EPCs with a space-heating demand of 20 kWh/m²/yr or less. Likewise, 2020 saw 1,191 (7.9%).

19 Last year’s report (published 26 May 2022) reported 1,130.7 MW of accredited capacity under the non-domestic RHI (NDRHI) between November 2011 and January 2022. This is actually the figure for full applications; the correct figure for accredited capacity between November 2011 and January 2022 is 1,095 MW.

36 Area of peatland restored is a proxy measure which doesn’t directly represent the reduction in emissions, an emissions reduction indicator may be adopted in the future. Also, the current per annum area restoration target figure is under review and may be increased, updates will be reflected in future annual reporting.

37 Emissions data for baseline and 2020 have been updated to reflect a forthcoming change in the global warming potentials for non-CO₂ greenhouse gases.

38 The Scottish Government also commissioned an independent analysis projecting future employment in the Energy Production Sector to inform the draft ESJTP. This can be found in Chapter 3 of the report and is available here.

39 This is low carbon renewable employment, and this chart (LCREE) does not include Scottish employment in CCUS or NETs sectors, as neither have been deployed in Scotland to date.
