European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)
The European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is a cap-and-trade scheme for the purpose of reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of energy intensive industrial sectors. Ceramics installations producing more than 75 tonnes of output per day, or with a thermal input of over 20MW are eligible, however exclusion may be possible if annual CO2 emissions are below 25,000 tonnes.
BCC provides comprehensive representation of the interest of the whole ceramics industry in negotiations in both UK and European forums, and is an active member of the UK ETG, which informs UK Government on implementation of EU ETS in respect of industry. BCC provides a central point to co-ordinate all ceramic consultation responses, and is a constantly available point of contact for all questions on EU ETS.
This section contains BCC’s EU ETS issue series and a collection of recent important documents of interest.
