  8. The basket of Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gases comprises carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2O), for which the baseline is 1990; and hydrofluorocarbons ( HFCs), perfluorocarbons ( PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF 6), for which the baseline is 1995.
  9. The Act also requires Ministers to apply a "multiplier" to aviation emissions to take into account the fact that emissions at high altitude are thought to have a bigger impact on the climate. The Committee on Climate Change recommended that this multiplier is set to a neutral value until more conclusive evidence is available to show what the multiplier should be, and Scottish Ministers took this advice when setting secondary legislation. Ministers will introduce new legislation when more evidence becomes available, but it should be noted that any increase to the multiplier used will make the 42% target more difficult to meet.

For the 2009/10 period this has changed to an obligation based on a 'per megawatt hour' measure of electricity that the suppliers provide to customers during a specified period. In 2009/10, this number was 0.097 ROCs per megawatt hour.
