Sites meeting the qualifying criteria are required to participate in the UK ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme) and operate under a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Permit. Under the terms of the scheme, participants must monitor emissions and submit a verified annual emissions statement (AEM) to the Environment Agency each year, and purchase/surrender carbon allowances. If in recipient of a free allowance allocation, the site must also submit an ‘Activity Level Report’ (ALR), which requires ‘sub-installation’ level data to be collated.

The current UK ETS Phase (Phase 1) is split into two reporting Periods: Period 1 (2021-2025), and Period 2 (2026 - 2030). Installations entitled to a free allocation in Period 2, will be required to submit a new application for allowances between 1 April - 30 June 2025.

In this webinar, SLR will provide an overview of the UK Emission Trading Scheme (UK ETS) including:

  • How a site qualifies
  • What the obligations are if you do qualify
  • How to meet compliance
  • The potential financial impacts of participation
  • What the UK Government has said in relation to the future of the scheme

Audience
