EU Emissions Trading Scheme
(asked on 20th March 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether there is a loophole for electricity generating units of 3MWTh (MW thermal) under the EU Emissions Trading System.
This question was answered on 28th March 2018
The government does not believe the 3MW (thermal) threshold constitutes a loophole. The current inclusion criteria of the EU ETS offer a good balance between environmental integrity of the System and avoiding disproportionate administrative burden for operators and administrators.
