  11. Climate Change Act 2008 Aims To improve carbon management, helping the transition to low-carbon economy To demonstrate UK leadership in reducing emissions Key Provisions Binding targets – 80% reduction in GHG emissions by 2050, 34% reduction by 2020 Carbon budgeting system with caps over five year periods – government department focused Creation of Committee on Climate Change (CCC) independent body Inclusion of international aviation and shipping (explain or account from 2012) Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme Adaptation sub-committee, and the introduction of adaptation reporting GHG reporting guidance

  12. Introduction • Energy saving and carbon emissions reduction scheme in the UK • Organisations focused in public and private sector not covered by existing energy related schemes, e.g. EU ETS, CCA • This was originally designed to be revenue neutral, all incoming revenue was planned to be recycled to the participants

  13. Key Legislative Changes The Spending Review “The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme will be simplified to reduce the burden on businesses, with the first allowance sales for 2011-12 emissions now taking place in 2012 rather than 2011. Revenues from allowance sales totaling £1 billion a year by 2014-15 will be used to support the public finances, including spending on the environment, rather than recycled to participants.”

  14. Scheme Simplification Allowance sales will not be recycled back to participants Initial sale of allowances has been delayed to end of 2011/2012 rather than beginning Extension of Phase 1 Performance League Table only used as Reputational Driver

  15. Timeline • Introduction 1st Sale of allowances Participants buy allowances for 2011/12 emissions League Table Performance League Table published. League Table Performance League Table published.

  16. Carbon Footprint A Carbon Footprint is “the total set of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organisation, event, product or person” Carbon Trust • GHG  CO2e

  17. Carbon Emissions Scope 1 Direct Emissions Direct Emissions resulting from activities within the organisation’s control Scope 2 In-Direct Emissions Indirect Emissions from electricity, heat or steam purchased and used Scope 3 In- Direct Emissions Indirect Emissions from sources not directly controlled by the organisation

  18. Reporting • Footprint Report • Baseline report of that phase • Annual Report • All CRC emissions for the preceding ARY • Evidence Pack

  19. Performance League Table

  20. Participant Scorecard

  21. Assessment Pros allowance purchase delayed No need for accurate forecasting Budget certainty No trading element Companies taking no Early Action not penalised Reduced complexity of carbon trading • Cons • Now tax • No recycle payment • Higher cost of carbon for all • Same administration burden • League Table with ‘no teeth’ • Early Action costs incurred will not be rewarded

  22. Actions for Organisations • Understand the financial implications • Manage stakeholder expectations • Accurately measure carbon emissions • Understand historic and future emissions • Establish actions for carbon reduction

  23. Q&A
