CRC user guide and guidance documents
CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme user guide - updated March 2010
The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme user guide provides a concise summary of all aspects of the CRC.
The guide is consistent with policy in the draft CRC Order which was laid in Parliament on 19 January 2010 and can be found on the Office of Public Sector Information: CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order 2010 web page. It reflects the changes implemented in the government response to the Consultation on the draft order to implement the Carbon Reduction Commitment.
On 3rd March 2010 a few minor changes were made to the user guide to bring it in line with the Order.
CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order: Table of Conversion Factors: Version 1
Under the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, participants will be obliged to measure the emissions from energy supplies for which they are responsible according to the relevant conversion factors. These relevant conversion factors are specified in the document below. These amounts will then be converted by the Registry into tonnes of carbon dioxide by the application of standard emissions factors.
DECC Guidance on the Early Action Metric under the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme: Carbon Trust Standard Equivalent Schemes
DECC has published guidance for the Environment Agency on criteria that alternative schemes to the Carbon Trust Standard (CTS) must meet in order to be approved as equivalent schemes under the Early Action Metric in the CRC. Details of the application procedures and application form will be available shortly on the Environment Agency website.
Environment Agency Guidance Documents
Official guidance on all aspects of complying with CRC obligations will be issued later in the autumn and will be available on the Environment Agency: CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme web pages. DECC will notify stakeholders who subscribe to the CRC mailing list when the publication will take place.
