The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Regulations 2015 amend the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Regulations 2012 with respect to the 'small emitter' and 'hospital' opt-out scheme.
The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Regulations 2015 set out measures to support small emitters and installations that previously served hospitals moving into the full European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). When joining/rejoining the full EU ETS, these organisations will be required to trade and surrender allowances for their emissions and may receive a free allocation of allowances, depending on their sector.
