Only completed projects were involved in this aspect of the research because live projects would not have a final report, final results or learnings.

This is submitted to KSB at the end of the project and details, for example, project activity, results, challenges. These were passed to Changeworks by KSB.

13. The Scottish Government uses the Scottish Greenhouse Gas Inventory to monitor its emissions reduction targets on an annual basis. This Inventory is compiled in line with international guidance from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and is reported by source sector (such as energy supply) and by greenhouse gas category (such as carbon dioxide). (See information at the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory http://naei.defra.gov.uk/reports/reports?report_id=810). Given the relative scale of CCF projects within the wide range of factors that influence emissions in the Inventory, it is unlikely that the specific contribution from CCF activity could be identified.
