Projections under 3 scenarios:
1. Business-as-usual (BAU)
2. Planning scenario incorporates existing policies and planned initiatives that would be implemented until 2030 (PLAN)
3. Ambitious scenario looks at potential emissions reduction when additional mitigation measures are implemented (AMB)
Report to UNFCCC contains GHG emissions improvement plan, but no specific quantitative projections.
GHG emissions published by NRES is based on sector and sub sector (IPCC Guidelines) instead of Scope 3. The sectors are Energy, Industrial Processes and Product Use, Agriculture Forestry and Other Land Use, and Waste instead of industrial sector classification as per MSIC 2008.
