1.1A Indicator: annual/actual emissions compared to the annual emissions envelope for the buildings sector (in MtCO2e)
Data source: Scottish Greenhouse Gas Statistics report
Unit: MtCO2e
Most recent data:
| Year | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emissions (MtCO2e) | 9.0 | 8.6 | 8.9 | 7.7 |
| Envelope (MtCO2e) | N/A | 8.0 | 7.6 | 7.1 |
Commentary:
Greenhouse Gas Statistics are published in June of each year with a 1.5 year lag. Latest statistics are for 2022 and show Buildings sector emissions to be 7.7 MtCO2e. This is a reduction of 1.2 MtCO2e compared to the previous year, and a reduction of 1.3 MtCO2e compared to the baseline year of 2019.
The 2018 Climate Change Plan update[5] set out annual envelopes for each sector, from 2020. The Buildings sector envelope was 7.1 MtCO2e for 2022. Therefore, the sector was outwith its envelope for this year.
