Delivering robust measurement pathways for a Scottish carbon land tax: an evidence review and feasibility study

The project will provide Scottish Government with an independent synthesis of current and emerging methods for estimating greenhouse-gas fluxes from peat at the scale of individual holdings, assess the technical and administrative conditions required to apply those methods within a revenue system, and identify priority research to reduce uncertainty and cost. Findings will guide the design of a potential carbon land tax and inform parallel work across the four nations.
