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 |

| 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 |
