Department of Energy and Climate Change - Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC)
05/06/09
Response: Water UK has responded to the DECC's consultation on the Draft Order to Implement the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC), scheduled to come into effect April 2010.
It is a cap and trade scheme, which seeks to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from large non-energy intensive organisations in both the public and the private sector.
It is designed to create a shift in awareness, behaviour and infrastructure. The scheme will involve approximately 5,000 organisations and will deliver at least 4Mt CO2 savings by 2020 through improvements in energy efficiency.
