European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS)
M&C Energy Group's view is that, by adopting a proactive approach, the ETS could work to the benefit of organisations in both financial and environmental terms.
EU ETS is the latest development in the European Union's strategy to reduce emissions of Greenhouse gases. Since the Kyoto Treaty was drawn up in Japan in 1997 industrialised nations have been bound to reduce worldwide emissions.
The EU ETS came into effect in January 2005 and is implemented in two phases, in 2005 and 2008 respectively. The first phase affects only specific businesses: Brick / Ceramics, Cement, Chemicals, Food & Drink, Glass, Iron & Steel, Lime, Non-Ferrous, Offshore including gas production, Other combustion activities, Pulp & Paper and Refineries.
Companies ignoring the potential impact of the scheme will almost certainly incur additional energy costs. These could be significant, and are set to increase indefinitely.
M&C Energy Group's extensive knowledge and experience of energy efficiency in relation to environmental legislation helps clients to minimise the impact of the ETS.
