Future of low carbon heat for off gas buildings - call for evidence: analysis of responses

Footnotes

1 This is as set out in the Climate Change Plan, published in February 2018. The Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Bill amends the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 to set more ambitious economy wide targets including net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, a 90% reduction by 2040 and a 75% reduction by 2030. The Scottish Government has committed to updating the Climate Change Plan within 6 months of the Bill receiving Royal Assent.
