Smaller firms could trade carbon
From the BBC news: Smaller firms could trade carbon
Small and medium-sized firms may face pollution limits in the UK’s drive to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is considering a scheme for the companies to be allocated a ration of permits to emit CO2.
If they overshoot their ration, the firms would have to buy extra permits.
It follows a report by the Carbon Trust that showed many firms - particularly in retail and commerce - were guilty of squandering energy.
Interesting stuff. - DS
