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
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
Key Legislative ChangesThe 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.”
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

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
Carbon Emissions
Scope 1Direct Emissions
Scope 2In-Direct Emissions
Scope 3In- Direct Emissions
Direct Emissions resulting fromactivities within the organisation’s control
Indirect Emissions from electricity, heat or steam purchased and used
Indirect Emissions from sources notdirectly controlled by the organisation
Reporting
• Footprint Report– Baseline report of that phase
• Annual Report– All CRC emissions for the preceding ARY
• Evidence Pack

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