UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) webinar in association with The Food and Drink Federation

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
