    Business Challenge
    The Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) Energy Efficiency Scheme is a mandatory emissions trading scheme starting in 2010. Both public and private organisations qualify with an estimated 5000 participants likely to be included in the initial phase of CRC implementation. These organisations are currently responsible for around 10% of the UK’s carbon emissions and the CRC scheme is intended to reduce emissions by 1.2 million tonnes of carbon (MtC) per year by 2020.
