The Carbon Reduction Commitment |
| |
All central Government departments will be included in a pioneering emissions trading scheme that will also target emissions from large businesses including supermarkets, banks, hotel chains and department stores.
The Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC), scheduled to begin operation in 2010, is a mandatory emissions trading scheme that will cover around 5,000 public and private organisations, including government departments, retailers, banks and local authorities, which combined account for 10 per cent of the UK economy's emissions.
Public sector bodies in England, including local authorities and hospitals, would be supported in becoming more energy efficient through an extra £30 million over three years in interest-free loans for energy efficiency projects.
