12 A ‘clean heating system’ does not produce any greenhouse gas emissions at the point of use.
13 Commercial sector heat consumption includes consumption other than Industrial, Transport and Domestic consumption, and will include some Agriculture and Public Sector consumption depending on the end-use.
14 Note the 2021 figure has been revised upwards (from 11,172 GWh) since the 2024 Monitoring report.
15 The figure for 2021 is 24.9 tCO2e/£mGVA. The emission intensity of Scotland’s service sector for years prior to 2021 was calculated using an unpublished sectoral breakdown of quarterly national accounts. The emission intensity for 2021 and previous years has now been revised to use the published breakdown of GVA for Scotland’s service sector.
16 Our previous CCP Monitoring Report, for 2024, reported data for this indicator for the period Q1 to Q4 2023 and showed that 2,501 records reported a space-heating demand intensity of 20 kW/m2/year (12.3% of EPCs lodged during this period).

31 Area of peatland restored is a proxy measure which doesn’t directly represent the reduction in emissions, an emissions reduction indicator may be adopted in the future. Also, the current per annum area restoration target figure is under review and may be increased, updates will be reflected in future annual reporting.
