The UK Emissions Trading Registry

During the process of registering users or applying to open an account in the UK Emissions Trading Registry, the Registry Administrator / National Administrator will request personal and corporate entity documents. This guidance explains which documents may be required.

The following guidance documents are intended to assist operators of installations and verifiers comply with the requirements of:

• (as given effect by UK ETS and subject to the modifications specified therein)

Helps operators of installations understand their obligations relating to the assessment of uncertainty in measurements, calculations, etc. in the UK ETS.

UKETS03 MRR - Reporting biomass in installations

Assists operators of stationary installations understand the requirements for monitoring and reporting biomass in the UK ETS.

Explains how the allocation methodology is applied at the installation level, including the impact of the provisions designed to address the exposure to a significant risk of carbon leakage. It describes the different types of sub-installation defined in the methodology and the approach for determining the allocation for each one.

Explains how operators should report their data using the baseline data reporting template during the 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2025 collection window

Assists operators of installations to understand the requirements for monitoring and reporting all the data required for free allocation of UK allowances and for the update of benchmark values.

Provides guidance on the verification of data relevant to the free allocation of allowances (baseline data and activity level data) as well as the accreditation of verifiers that conduct verification activities under the UK ETS.

UKETS16A FAR 鈥� Guidance for installations ceasing operations

Explains how operators must comply with their obligations on reporting a cessation of operations and its effect on free allocation.

The Monitoring and Reporting Regulation, as modified by the UK ETS Order, allows nationally reported data to be used by operators as default factors in specific circumstances. Carbon emission factors and calorific values from the UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory are available for annual emissions reporting for the UK ETS here, along with tables from previous years (also see Previous tables for UK participation in the EU ETS:

UK ETS regulator reports

The UK ETS regulator report is the UK ETS equivalent of the EU ETS Article 21 Questionnaire. It is an analysis of the allocation of allowances, the operation of registries, the application of the monitoring and reporting guidelines, verification, and issues relating to compliance. This page also includes the Article 21 report from our final year of participation in the EU ETS as a member state.
