Have your say 

The UK ETS launched on 1 January 2021, providing some reassurance of a smooth transition from the EU scheme for participants.  The Government is also intending to go further than its EU counterpart, by aligning the UK ETS with the Net Zero goal, through reducing the cap on emissions allowances by 5% from the UK’s expected share of the EU ETS cap. 


The UK ETS is continuing to offer free allowances to prevent carbon leakage and to protect UK competitiveness.  However, a review of the UK ETS will aim to ensure that the scheme evolves and grows to make the most of new opportunities as well as being compatible with the UK’s climate commitments.


Therefore, it has issued a Call for Evidence on how the use of free allocations can better incentivise emissions reduction and protect energy intensive industries from carbon leakage.

We want to make sure that the views of businesses - particularly those in energy intensive industries that this will impact - are heard. Have your say in our short survey. It should take no longer than two minutes to complete. 



Question Title

* 1. Please state what sector your business operates in:

Question Title

* 2. What, if any, are the main issues or problems with the current approach to free allocation? (Please tick all that apply)

Question Title

* 3. Do you believe that the approach to free allocation outlined in the UK ETS should align with the Net Zero by 2050 goal?

Question Title

* 4. Does your business currently experience carbon leakage? 

(Carbon leakage refers to the situation that occurs if, for reasons of costs related to climate policies, businesses in certain industry sectors were to transfer production to other countries with less stringent emission constraints)

Question Title

* 5. If yes, how does it currently protect against this carbon leakage?

Question Title

* 6. Do you believe that there should be alternative carbon leakage protection measures to ensure that carbon intensive imports face the same carbon costs as domestic products? 

Question Title

* 7. Importantly, what, in your view, would be a fair solution for your sector that also helps meet the UK’s climate targets?
