Scottish Greenhouse Gas statistics: 1990-2019
The Scottish Greenhouse Gas Inventory is the key tool for understanding the origins and magnitudes of greenhouse gas emissions in Scotland. The inventory is compiled in line with international guidance from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Annex B: Scottish greenhouse gas emissions using categories presented in Scotland's climate change plan.
The Scottish Government's Climate Change Plan was published in February 2018 presenting a strategy to reduce emissions over the period to 2032. The modelling activity supporting this plan used a modified version of the sectoral categories used in the Scottish Greenhouse Gas Emissions publication. The following table presents the latest Scottish emissions data using these alternative categories.
| CCP category | Baseline period | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agriculture | 8.6 | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 |
| Electricity Generation | 14.7 | 7.7 | 2.5 | 1.1 | 2.1 | 2.0 |
| Industry | 21.0 | 10.9 | 11.5 | 11.9 | 11.7 | 10.7 |
| Land use, land use change and forestry | 9.1 | 2.2 | 1.8 | 1.7 | 2.3 | 2.7 |
| Residential | 8.0 | 6.1 | 6.2 | 6.0 | 6.3 | 6.2 |
| Services | 3.0 | 3.2 | 3.2 | 3.1 | 3.2 | 3.2 |
| Transport | 14.9 | 13.8 | 14.2 | 14.5 | 14.3 | 13.9 |
| Waste Management | 5.8 | 1.7 | 1.6 | 1.6 | 1.6 | 1.5 |
| All emissions | 85.1 | 53.2 | 48.5 | 47.5 | 48.9 | 47.8 |
