Transport Scotland

Transport Scotland, an "Other land transportation services" provider based in GB, reported approximately 5,570,000 kg CO2e in total emissions for 2023. This includes Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion of about 43,690 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity of approximately 5,257 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 178,580 kg CO2e from business travel, 90,000 kg CO2e from employee commute, and 980 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations.

Looking back, Transport Scotland's total emissions for 2022 were approximately 5,795,000 kg CO2e, showing a decrease from 2016's total emissions of about 22,222,000 kg CO2e. For 2016, Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion were around 265,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 from purchased electricity was approximately 20,137,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 from business travel was about 344,000 kg CO2e, with 5,150 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations. Emissions data for 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 are available with total figures of about 1,400,560 kg CO2e, 1,226,580 kg CO2e, 1,070,380 kg CO2e, and 975,852 kg CO2e respectively, though specific scope breakdowns are not provided for these years. No detailed emissions data is available for 2021 beyond a waste production figure.

Transport Scotland is committed to significant climate action. The organisation contributes to the UK's long-term net-zero target by 2050, aiming for a 100% reduction in UK Greenhouse Gas emissions compared to 1990 levels. Additionally, under the Climate Change (Emissions Reductions Targets) (Scotland) Act 2019, Scotland has a near-term target to reduce national emissions by at least 75% below the 1990/1995 baseline period by 2030. The Scottish Government, which Transport Scotland is part of, also declared a climate emergency in 2019, with a commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045.
