Preparing for the Carbon Reduction Commitment: Understanding the Requirements and Opportunities - This event has already finished

This half-day seminar has been designed with a clear focus on the practicalities of the CRC

22 July 2009 - London

Details :
  • The Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) is a new mandatory emissions trading scheme starting in April 2010 that will affect organisations in both the public and private sector that are large energy users.
  • The Government expects approximately 5,000 organisations to be included in the CRC, including retailers, hotel chains, banks and financial institutions, IT and communications companies, local authorities and government agencies.
  • CRC participants will have to monitor and report their energy use to the Government and to purchase an allowance for each tonne of CO2 they emit.
  • In addition, the Government will be publishing a league table ranking the performance of all organisations covered by the CRC.

Programme :

  • The seminar has been designed with a clear focus on the practicalities of the CRC.
  • It will give participants the tools to start to manage their own organisation's CRC compliance.
  • The seminar is built around the key questions that all energy and environmental professionals need to answer for themselves:
    • Is my organisation required to participate in the CRC?
    • How do I ensure that my organisation is reporting the right data to the required level of accuracy?
    • How does emissions trading work and what opportunities will it create for my organisation?
    • How can the CRC enhance my organisation's brand and reputation?
    • What do I actually need to be doing now in order to ensure that my organisation will be ready for the CRC?
