The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme - Will it affect your organisation?
Posted on: March 31, 2010
The UK’s new carbon emissions trading scheme kicks off on the 1st April 2010 and will require action from around 20 000 large public and private sector organisations. The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) is a new regulatory incentive to improve energy efficiency in large organisations which aims to help hit the UK’s target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050.
All organisations that had at least one half-hourly meter settled on the half-hourly market within 2008 will be required to take some form of action. All organisations fulfilling the above criterion will need to make an information disclosure. Further to this, organisations will qualify as a full participant if the annual electricity supply through all their half-hourly meters was at least 6000 MWh. Full participants will then need to purchase allowances (initially sold by the government) for each tonne of carbon dioxide they emit.
If your organisation is unsure as to whether it is obligated or would like assistance in complying with this scheme then please contact s.burley@envirocompli.com. For more information about the scheme, please visit our CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme webpage.
Book your place on one of our FREE technical seminars

Environmental Compliance, together with ABB and the Durag Group, will be hosting three FREE seminars across the country over the coming months:
- 23rd March at Murrayfield Stadium, Scotland
- 27th April at the Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough
- 8th June at Bowood Golf Resort, Wiltshire.
The presentations, aimed at planners, developers, technical providers and operators of Energy from Waste (EfW) plants, large combustion plants and biomass plants, will benefit operators regulated by the Environment Agency and those who use Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS).
The seminars will provide an overview on the various stages of the planning and permit application process, together with a synopsis of proven CEMS equipment and the important role they play in ensuring regulatory compliance, specifically in achieving conformity with BS EN 14181.
