The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) Authority – made up of the UK government, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) in Northern Ireland – is seeking stakeholder views on proposals to develop the UK ETS which operates across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

This consultation is open to all, but it will be of particular interest to:

  • individual companies and representatives of industrial, power and aviation sectors with obligations under the UK ETS
  • environmental groups
  • individual companies and representatives of maritime, waste, greenhouse gas removals and agricultural sectors

Note, this consultation does not apply to NI electricity generators who participate in the EU ETS by virtue of the Ireland / Northern Ireland Protocol.
