Scotland's Carbon Footprint

An official statistics publication providing estimates of Scotland’s greenhouse gas emissions on a consumption basis; that is emissions that are associated with the spending of Scottish residents on goods and services, wherever in the world these emissions arise together with emissions directly generated by Scottish households.

Scottish emissions of air pollutants

A news release summarising the Scottish results from a report on emissions of carbon monoxide, ammonia, nitrogen oxides, sub-10 micron particulate matter (PM10), sulphur dioxide, lead and non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs). The full report, prepared by Ricardo, is published on the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory website.

The statistics are no longer considered official statistics and this news release will no longer be produced.
