The UK government is introducing a mandatory emissions ‘Cap and Trade’ scheme for the largest 5000 public and private sector organisations. From April 2011 these organisations must purchase allowances at a fixed price of £12 per tonne of CO2 emitted. Two years later, the number of allowances will be reduced, and then publically auctioned. Each year a league table will be published rating the energy performances of all the participants. Organisations will therefore have to reduce their electricity, oil and gas consumption, year on year. This trading scheme will create substantial costs and reputational risks, both of which will require careful management.
