Abstract

As well as highlighting factors which should be taken into consideration in the Design of a UK Emissions Trading System,

This paper aims to address particularly, the question relating to how “in the absence of historical emissions data, the regulator is able to make an environmentally robust assessment of the eligibility and emissions target of a new entrant for the Small Emitter Opt-Out or the Ultra-Small Emitters Exemption, without undermining the environmental integrity of the system”.
