  3. About Carbon Reduction Commitment

    The Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) is a proposed mandatory cap and trade scheme in the United Kingdom that will apply to large non energy-intensive organisations in the public and private sectors. It is anticipated that the scheme will have cut carbon emissions by 1.2 million tonnes of carbon per year by 2020. The British Government is committed to cutting UK carbon emissions by 60% by 2050, compared to 1990 levels.

    The Carbon Reduction Commitment was announced in the 2007 Energy White Paper, published on May 23, 2007. A consultation in 2006showed strong support for it to be mandatory, rather than a voluntary. The Commitment is to be introduced under enabling powers planned for inclusion in the Climate Change Bill. A consultation into the scheme's implementation is to be launched in June 2007.
