UK ETS (UK EMISSIONS TRAINING SCHEME)

What is the UK ETS?
 

The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) is the UK’s carbon pricing system for energy-intensive sectors.
 

If your business produces significant greenhouse gas emissions, you may be required to:
 

  • Monitor emissions

  • Submit annual reports

  • Purchase and surrender carbon allowances

  • Meet ongoing compliance obligations
     

Failure to comply can lead to financial penalties and regulatory scrutiny.

​

You may fall within scope if you operate:

  • Industrial facilities

  • Manufacturing plants

  • Energy generation sites

  • Large combustion equipment

  • Aviation operations

Unsure if you qualify?
 

Ask yourself:

  • Has your energy usage increased?

  • Have your operations expanded?

  • Are your permits up to date?

  • Are you confident your reporting meets UK ETS requirements?

Are exemptions available?



Some businesses may qualify for:

  • Small emitter exemptions

  • Hospital exclusions

  • Reduced reporting obligations

However, exemptions still require formal applications and ongoing compliance.
