The CRC (Carbon Reduction Commitment) Are you prepared?

The Carbon Reduction Commitment

It is now only one month until the introduction of the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC), a scheme which is being introduced by the government to combat climate change. From 1st April 2010 large public and private sector organisations will be required to take part in the scheme by reducing their carbon emissions. While the scheme is mandatory, it gives businesses a fantastic opportunity to cut down on energy costs and plan ahead for a more sustainable future.

Joan Ruddock, energy and climate change minister commented "This is a real opportunity for business and industry to take a leadership role in tackling climate change and gain reputational advantage as a result."

What is the Carbon Reduction Commitment?

The CRC is designed to improve energy efficiency by reducing carbon emissions in large organisations. Operating as a ‘cap and trade’ mechanism, the CRC will help organisations determine how much carbon they emit, and how they can reduce this number. By placing a cap on the total allowances available to each CRC member, organisations can then determine the most cost effective way of reducing their carbon emissions. The scheme is targeting large public and private organisations within the UK, who contribute almost 10% of the UK’s total emissions, affecting almost 20,000 organisations.
