Clean, green energy A massive increase in clean, green energy
and full take up of electric and alternative fuel vehicles is
needed to drastically cut emissions by 2050 and transform
Scotland into a low carbon economy. The measures are part of the
Scottish Government's Climate Change Delivery Plan, which sets
out a vision to meet the world leading Climate Change Bill
target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by
2050. The plans will also be key to unlocking Scotland's vast
potential in renewables and creating tens of thousands of green
jobs. Four major transformational measures are envisioned: - Low
carbon electricity by 2030, through increased renewables and
clean fossil fuels utilising carbon capture and storage
technology; - Wholesale adoption of low carbon road vehicles,
and significant electrification of rail by 2050, with
significant progress by 2030; - Low carbon heating by 2050, with
significant progress by 2030, through reduced demand, better
energy efficiency and a massive increase in r
