Net greenhouse gas emissions including emissions and removals due to Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry ( LULUCF), and emissions excluding LULUCF
Net emissions of greenhouse gases allocated to Scotland fell by 15.4% between the base year (1990 for CO2, CH4 and N2O and 1995 for HFC's, PFC's and SF6's) and 2005 from 64.6 to 54.6 Mt of carbon dioxide equivalent. In Scotland, the category LULUCF is a net sink (i.e. removals are greater than emissions). Emissions excluding LULUCF fell from 67.0 Mt CO2 in 1990 to 59.2 Mt CO2 in 2005.
