| Title: | Consultation on carbon units, the net UK carbon account and carbon accounting |
| Organisation: | Defra |
| Issued: | Fri 28 November 2008 |
| Deadline: | 19 January 2009 |
| Status: | CLOSED Consultation is closed for comments |
| Synopsis: | The purpose of this consultation is to seek views on the proposals for carbon accounting in the UK under the Climate Change Bill (the Bill). The Bill requires the Secretary of State to make provision for a carbon accounting scheme by the introduction of new carbon accounting regulations. Carbon accounting will be used to determine compliance with the carbon budgets and targets established under the Bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. Whilst the basic requirements of a carbon accounting system are established in the Bill, secondary legislation will be required to establish the details. |
