Introduction to the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC)

The Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) is an innovative climate change and energy saving scheme for the UK. It will encourage improvements in energy efficiency which can save organisations money. The scheme has been designed to generate a shift in awareness in large organisations, and to drive changes in behaviour and infrastructure.

The scheme is a central part of the UK’s strategy for controlling our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and will tackle CO2 emissions not already covered by Climate Change Agreements and the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.

This will help reduce the country’s carbon footprint to deliver the ambitious emissions reduction
targets set in the Government’s Climate Change Act. The scheme will start in April 2010 and around 20,000 organisations may be affected by the scheme.

If an organisation fails to comply with their obligations, it may result in penalties including monetary fines.

How will it benefit you? It is estimated that the benefit/savings to participating organisations will be around £1billion by 2020.

What type of organisations will be involved? The Carbon Reduction Commitment will encompass large public and private sector organisations across the UK including supermarkets, water companies, banks, local authorities, state-funded schools and all central government departments. Organisations will qualify as a CRC participant based on their half hourly electricity usage.

I wonder when they will bring this to Australia. Finding electricity providers in Australia can become easier.

At Last

At last there has been an initiative by a government body that looks as though it will amount to something in the move to reduce our production of carbon emissions. There are many ways in which we can all reduce our carbon footprint from simply turning off a light when the room is not in use to more drastic measures such as installing synthetic grass. Some things are obvious and others will take a little bit more work, but with inititives like the CRC at least we will be moving in a positive direction.

Carbon increasing result to global warming...

Carbon reduction?? well, this was the issue that has been talked about in the Intergovernmental phase in climate change. Reduction of carbon is a lot help for all of us but this seems so impossible with the enormous usage of high technology producing huge amount of carbon????/ hooh, thats really impossible. Al gore has been presentiing his slides to all, but did this make any reminder to all? he is leader of the slides presentation about g.w. but he is also one of the biggest personality who produces huge amount of carbon. Everybody is responsible in it. Lets help nature, its like giving money from installment loans for the earth.
