UK ETS scope expansion - CCS: non-pipeline transport of carbon dioxide
Consultation description
The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) Authority 鈥� made up of the UK Government, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for Northern Ireland who jointly run the scheme 鈥� is consulting on a regulatory framework which will aim to recognise and implement non-pipeline transport (NPT) in the UK ETS.听
The purpose of this consultation is to set out proposals for a regulatory model which will enable UK ETS participants to subtract CO2 sent to permanent storage via non-pipeline transport from their reportable emissions.听聽
In particular, we are proposing options and / or seeking views on:聽
- ETS NPT regulatory framework鈥��
- accounting for NPT transport emissions鈥���
- shipping and multiport journeys鈥�
- intermediate CO2 storage facilities and CO2 尘颈虫颈苍驳鈥赌�
- interactions between our proposed NPT policy and greenhouse gas removals (GGRs)
- our minded to position that our NPT policy will not require an adjustment to the ETS 肠补辫鈥�
This consultation is open to anyone, but we expect it to be of greatest interest to:聽
- intermediate storage service providers聽
- transport companies (road, rail and ship) planning to transport CO2 for NPT purposes
- capture projects considering using NPT
- carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) clusters聽聽
- carbon capture and storage (CCS) storage projects聽
- any individual or organisation that has an interest, directly or indirectly, in the use of NPT for carbon capture and storage
