Emissions targets for 2021-2025 allocation periodU.K.
16.—(1) This paragraph applies for the purpose of calculating an installation's emissions targets for the scheme years in the 2021-2025 allocation period under paragraph 11(1)(f)(i) and (iii).
(2) Where a regulated activity began to be carried out at the installation before 2019, the installation's emissions target for a scheme year is the installation's relevant emissions multiplied by the reduction factor for the scheme year.
(3) For the purpose of sub-paragraph (2), the relevant emissions of an installation are—
(a)where a regulated activity began to be carried out at the installation before 2016, the sum of the installation's reportable emissions in 2016, 2017 and 2018 divided by 3;
(b)where a regulated activity began to be carried out at the installation in 2016, the sum of the installation's reportable emissions in 2017 and 2018 divided by 2;
(c)where a regulated activity began to be carried out at the installation in 2017, the installation's reportable emissions in 2018;
(d)where a regulated activity began to be carried out at the installation in 2018, the installation's reportable emissions in 2019.
(4) Where a regulated activity began to be carried out at the installation in 2019, the installation's emissions target—
(a)for the 2021 scheme year is the 2021 estimate multiplied by the reduction factor for the 2021 scheme year;
(b)for every other scheme year (the “relevant scheme year”) in the 2021-2025 allocation period is the installation's reportable emissions in 2020 multiplied by the reduction factor for the relevant scheme year.
(5) Where a regulated activity began to be carried out at the installation in the period beginning on 1st January 2020 and ending on 31st October 2020, the installation's emissions target—
(a)for the 2021 scheme year is the 2021 estimate multiplied by the reduction factor for the 2021 scheme year;
(b)for the 2022 scheme year is the 2021 estimate multiplied by the reduction factor for the 2022 scheme year;
(c)for every other scheme year (the “relevant scheme year”) in the 2021-2025 allocation period is the installation's reportable emissions in the 2021 scheme year multiplied by the reduction factor for the relevant scheme year.
(6) In sub-paragraphs (4) and (5), “2021 estimate” means the conservative estimate of annual average emissions referred to in Article 19(4) of the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation 2012 used for the purposes of a monitoring plan submitted under that Regulation and contained in the application for a permit under GGETSR 2012 (see paragraph 1(1)(f) of Schedule 4 to GGETSR 2012).
(7) For the purpose of this paragraph, the reduction factor for a scheme year set out in column 1 of table D is the value set out in the corresponding entry in column 2.
Table D
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| Scheme year | Reduction factor |
| 2021 | 0.8697 |
| 2022 | 0.8461 |
| 2023 | 0.8224 |
| 2024 | 0.7988 |
| 2025 | 0.7751 |
(8) In this paragraph, a reference to reportable emissions is a reference to reportable emissions (within the meaning of GGETSR 2012 or this Order)—
(a)verified [F1as satisfactory] in accordance with the Verification Regulation 2012 or the Verification Regulation 2018;
[F2(aa)determined under regulation 44 of GGETSR 2012 or article 45 of this Order; or]
(b)where relevant, set out in an emissions report accompanied by the notice or declaration referred to in paragraph 3(8)(b)(ii) of Schedule 5 to GGETSR 2012 or paragraph 11(2)(b)(ii) of this Schedule.
(9) This paragraph is subject to paragraph 14.
