SNP MSP Maree Todd uses her motion to highlight the recently-published report, The Energy of Scotland: Heating, moving and powering our lives from now to 2030.
The report was prepared by WWF Scotland, Friends of the Earth Scotland and RSPB Scotland and is based on analysis by global technical consultancy, Ricardo Energy and Environment.
Image source, PAMs Todd says its findings suggest that producing 50% of all of Scotland’s energy across heat, transport and electricity from renewables by 2030 is achievable and necessary.
The SNP MSP says progress has been made in implementing renewables across the electricity sector.
She says these generate the equivalent of more than half of the country's electricity demand and have brought economic benefits, especially in the Highlands and Islands.
She says work now needs to be done to support renewables in the heat and transport sectors, which together account for more than three-quarters of Scotland’s total energy consumption.
