Policy paper: UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS): policy overview

Imported from official source

The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) currently covers the heavy industry, power and aviation sectors – approximately 25% of UK territorial emissions.

The scheme incentivises investment in decarbonisation in line with climate targets across the UK, by setting a cap on emissions from these sectors and creating a carbon price.

The UK ETS Authority (consisting of the UK, Scottish, and Welsh Governments, and the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs) is working to expand and develop the scheme to incentivise additional sectors of the economy.
