Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee report on the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 (Scottish Carbon Budgets) Amendment Regulations 2025 - Industry and engineered removals
Dr Richardson said Scotland has two key advantages in engineered removals: access to storage sites and the very large availability of renewable energy.iiiNet Zero, Energy and Transport Committee, Official Report, 2 September 2025, col 37
The Cabinet Secretary said that if companies developing negative emissions technologies (NETS) in Scotland are supported then Scotland could be an exporter of NETs to the rest of the world, as well as reducing emissions in Scotland.iiiNet Zero, Energy and Transport Committee, Official Report, 9 September 2025, col 60
However, some responses to the Call for Views raised concerns about over-reliance on engineered removals (FOES, SCCS, & WWFS) and recommended a ‘Plan B’ if the technologies do not mature to the scale expected in the CCC’s pathway.viiiWritten submissions from Friends of the Earth Scotland , Stop Climate Chaos Scotland and WWF Scotland

Green Recovery Inquiry - Report - Housing/Planning
However, the Committee heard there needs to be an immediate spending increase to kick start what the CCC called “a labour-intensive set of investments that make our housing stock more ready for climate change and more energy efficient”.iOfficial Report, 15 September 2020, col.13 The CCC state housing retrofits, skills and training are the top priority and spend needs to be frontloaded on labour intensive programmes that can begin quickly (12-24 months) to get money cycling in the economy.iiCCC letter to Roseanna Cunningham MSP, 'Building a resilient recovery from the COVID-19 crisis', 6 May 2020; Official Report, 15 September 2020, col.5-6
The Committee recommends:
The Scottish Government, develop, fund and mandate a comprehensive programme to bring Scotland’s existing housing stock, particularly pre-1919 tenements and other hard to treat homes, up to an improved and sustainable level of energy efficiency, in line with the recommendations of the CCC.iii'Reducing Emissions in Scotland, Progress Report to Parliament', CCC, October 2020, pp.109-113 A fresh approach is required to ensure that those living in conservation areas and listed buildings have access to the best performing technologies, and that their decarbonisation efforts are not hampered by historic designations.
