Who needs to report
The government collects and publishes details of subsidies awarded to businesses by UK public authorities. You need to report your annual Climate Change Levy subsidy award for a calendar year if its more than 100,000, and youre either
For businesses registered in Northern Ireland
If your business is registered in Northern Ireland, youll need to report if all of the following apply
To convert euros to pounds, check the official HMRC foreign currency exchange average rates for the calendar year youre reporting. You must use these exchange rates we cannot accept any others. For example, for the calendar year 2024, youd need to report if your subsidy award was more than 84,825. When to report
Youll need to report subsidies for a calendar year. After the calendar year has ended, youll have from 1 July to 30 September to report your subsidy awards. For example, if you want to report subsidies for the calendar year 2024
You must contact us if youve missed the reporting deadline for a calendar year, or you think you might miss it. Read the section Contact HMRC for more help to find out how. Work out your award
Check the latest Climate Change Levy rates to make sure you apply the right rate for the year that youre reporting. For example, if youre reporting subsidy awards for the 2024 calendar year period, there were changes to some Climate Change Levy rates in April 2024 . Make sure you use the correct rates for each month to provide a total of your subsidies for that calendar year. Climate Change Agreement participants
If youre a participant in a Climate Change Agreement, your subsidy award amount is the difference between the amount of Climate Change Levy paid at the reduced rate, and the amount that would have been paid at the main rate on your taxable supplies. Taxable supplies may include
Operators of open access rail services
To work out your subsidy award, youll need to
Work out the amount of electricity used at the main rate of Climate Change Levy from 1 January to 31 December. Multiply this by the main rate for the period youre reporting. If you use a mix of fuels, report electricity usage only.
Update 17 May 2023
Added Annex O Net zero and the power sector scenarios, and all its supplementary data. Update 10 March 2023
The revision published 10 March 2023 is a correction due to an error in power sector modelling which was identified after publication. This led to some Combined Heat and Power CHP capacity being double-counted in the original October 2022 publication. In comparison to the October 2022 reference projections, the correction means that emissions are now slightly higher for energy supply, and slightly lower for industry, particularly in the early 2020s.
For each year after 2021, the net change is less than 1 MtCO2e. This revised reference case has been added as a new sheet at the front of each affected annex all except D, F and M. The energy and emissions projections publication provides projections of energy, emissions and electricity generation under policies that have been implemented and those that are planned where the level of funding has been agreed and the design of the policy is near final. The report contains projections of UK performance against national greenhouse gas targets under existing policies. It includes projections of the demand for each type of fuel in different sectors of the economy. The publication discusses the projected demand for electricity and indicates what mix of generation will meet it. All enquiries about the projections should be sent to emissionsprojectionsbeis.gov.uk. For questions on the assumptions behind the projections, please see Annex M for source information. We are unable to provide any breakdown of projected renewable electricity generation, capacity or new build by technology.

Reductionsin positive emissions are similar across the UK. Scotland contributes to 8% of all abatement action across the Sixth Carbon Budget period and 9% in 2050 in our Balanced Net Zero Pathway, compared to 10% of UK emissions in 2018. Scotland is likely to also have a significant share of UK greenhouse gas removal. • Wales contributes to 9% of all non-GGR abatement action across the Sixth Carbon Budget period and 8% in 2050 in our Balanced Net Zero Pathway, compared to 8% of UK emissions in 2018.
According to the Energy Community Treaty, by 2020 BiH has to achieve the share of renewable energy sources in total energy consumption by 40% (from the current 34%). This will contribute to reduction of greenhouse gases also in the electrical energy sector. Both entities have enacted laws on renewable energy sources and high efficiency cogeneration (in FBiH - Law on the use of renewable energy sources and efficient cogeneration, in RS - Law on renewable energy sources and efficient cogeneration) in 2013, which encourage electricity generation from RES. On the basis of the laws, the Entities have adopted Action Plans for renewable energy sources by 2020. These Action Plans define capacities of some renewable energy sources that will be encouraged by 2020 through the guaranteed purchase prices. It should be noted that the aforementioned laws and Action Plans came as a response to the commitments of BiH under the Energy Community Treaty. Given that the EU has already defined objectives pertaining to renewable energy sources, even beyond 2020, adoption of Action Plans in BiH in the field of renewable energy is expected also for the period beyond 2020, which will be along the lines of the defined objectives of the EU by 2030 and 2050. The goal is that in 2050 all the quantities of electricity are produced from renewable energy sources.

The first objective, the number one objective, is to bring out in France, by 2030, innovative small-scale nuclear reactors, with better waste management. On this subject, why put it first? Because the first subject is the production of energy. To produce energy, in particular electricity, we have a chance, it is our historical model. The installed base, nuclear. I will have the opportunity to come back in the coming weeks to the advisability of building new reactors and to the strategy, since there is first of all work that we have requested with the Prime Minister and the Minister at RTE and which continues to move forward. But we have to say it, remember it, the 200,000 French men and women who work in the nuclear sector, it&#39;s a chance because it&#39;s what allows us to be the country in Europe which is among those who emit the fewest tons of CO2 per electricity produced. We must reinvest to be at the forefront of disruptive innovation in this sector. It goes through a series of technological families and it is not appropriate to decide between them here. These are not exclusively industrial choices that we must also make in the shorter term, both on nuclear and renewable energies. We absolutely must prepare for disruptive technologies and profound transformations in the nuclear sector. The promise of what are called small modular reactors, which are small reactors, much smaller and much safer because safety is a key point in the nuclear debate. There are also technologies to better manage our waste, some on which we are beginning to make progress, some which we do not even imagine with there too, work done by our research organizations which, for some, are already very advanced by our major historic manufacturers and also by mid-sized companies, start-ups and French SMEs which are in the process of proposing breakthrough innovations in this area.
These Regulations apply to marine licensing fees in relation to which the Welsh Ministers are the appropriate licensing authority under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. Under section 67(1)(b) of that Act the appropriate licensing authority may require that an application for a marine licence be accompanied by a fee. Regulation 4 and Schedule 1 provide that the fee for determining an application for a licence is either a fixed fee or an amount calculated by multiplying the number of hours worked by a specified amount.

Fieldwork for the Summer 2023 wave of the PAT took place between 9 June and 10 July 2023 using a push-to-web methodology, covering a sample of 4,003 individuals in the UK. The methodology, which was introduced in Autumn 2021, uses random probability sampling. Respondents are invited to participate through letters sent out to addresses randomly selected from the postcode address file PAF. They can complete the survey online or on paper. These results should not be compared with the face-to-face results or online panel results from waves prior to Autumn 2021 due to selection and measurement effects. A summary of the methodology is provided in the Technical Overview report. A more detailed description of the survey methodology used since Autumn 2021 together with core survey metrics for Autumn 2022 to Summer 2023 is given in the Technical Report. The results have been split into topic-based reports.
These reports also include the results from previous waves from Autumn 2021 onwards and make comparisons with these results where possible. Some topic reports relate to areas which were under the remit of the former BEIS and will no longer be updated but are still available - see latest results for these topics
From Summer 2022 onwards we no longer publish the PAT datasets but more detailed versions will be available via the Secure Research Service SRS. This change was proposed when the results from Spring 2022 were published and no comments were received from users. Instead, we are now publishing time series and crosstabulations by sex, age, education and region for selected questions. We have decided not to run the Autumn 2023 wave, which largely covered topics that do not fall within the remit of DESNZ. Energy-related questions from the Autumn wave will be accommodated in upcoming waves of the survey where possible. The next publication will cover results from the Winter 2023 wave and will be released in March 2024. We are always interested in feedback on the PAT. If you have any comments or questions on this publication, or the proposal for the upcoming waves please contact us at PATenergysecurity.gov.uk.
The national policies and the action plans to reduce GHG emissions are a key element in
limiting the effects of climate change on the environment, the economy and society. To support
green growth for carbon reduction, the EU has introduced ambitious climate and energy targets
by 2020, being the first region to pass binding legislation to ensure that they are achieved. Romania's obligations as an EU Member State include participation in the EU Restriction and
Marketing Mechanism or the EU ETS Emissions Trading Scheme for all energy-intensive
installations. Additionally, emissions from economic activities outside the EU ETS are regulated
by Decision no. 406/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on
the effort of Member States to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Community's
greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments up to 2020; in line with the target set,
greenhouse gas emissions may increase by 19% in 2020 compared to 2005. For each priority sector, based on the objectives of the sectoral strategy, actions are taken to
support each objective. These actions are: political, investment, institutional capacity building,
The Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 2021 establishing the framework for achieving climate neutrality and amending Regulations (EC) No 401/2009 and (EU) 2018/1999 (hereinafter - European Climate Law) includes the goal of achieving EU climate neutrality by 2050. The European Climate Law also includes a binding EU target for the reduction of net GHG emissions (including CO removals) by 2030 of at least a 55% reduction in emissions compared to 1990 levels. Therefore, the EC on 14 July 2021 released the "Fit for 55" package, which includes proposals for amendments, including Regulation (EU) 2018/842, which includes the reduction of GHG emissions determined by Latvia until 2030 in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/842 amendment to Article 4, for non-ETS (ESD) activities compared to 2005 is -17%.
This document sets the government's strategy to create an integrated low carbon hydrogen sector in the UK. It considers changes to the regulatory framework, aims to assess jobs opportunity, and makes a range of financial commitments and targets, notably: 1) 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030 (1GW by 2025), 2) provision of £240m for the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund out to 2024/25, 3) deliver hydrogen for heat trials, and 4) provide up to £120 million this year through the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) scheme towards 4,000 new zero emission buses, either hydrogen or battery electric, and infrastructure needed to support them.
This roadmap builds on the UK Hydrogen Strategy and defines how the government seeks to attract investors to develop hydrogen production in the country. The government states in this document that it expects that "up to 2GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity will be in operation or construction by 2025, providing the necessary certainty to unlock over £9 bn of private investment by 2030".

2. ENERGY DEMAND MANAGEMENT On 10th August 2015, when the 20th level of electric power supply limitations was introduced for the first time since 1980s, it turned out again that the energy sector required changes that would guarantee the certainty of energy supplies at competitive prices. The growing dilemma of how to finance the reconstruction of generation capacity in electrical power engineering could be partly mitigated as a result of undertaking actions on the part of energy demand management. The development of energy storage through car batteries and energy warehouses located at the charging facilities for electric 2) vehicles, related to electromobility, will allow to treat infrastructure of electric vehicles in the future as energy reserves which provide energy at the moment of peak demand and charge during the so-called 'night low power demand. From the point of view of energy generation, the development of electromobility will be an additional element enabling to optimize the operation of the National Power System during the peak demand period, 3) and therefore, it constitutes a saving which consists in the lack of necessity to maintain a part of generation capacity that is unprofitable due to the fact that it is only operated for several hundred hours per year. Achievement of the number of 1 million electric cars in Poland by 2025 will result in generating additional energy demand at the level of 4.3 KWh per year, which will provide the sector with additional PLN 20 million from energy sales (assuming the average Achievement of the number of 1 million electric cars in Poland by 2025 will result in generating additional energy demand at the level of 4.3 KWh per year, which will provide the sector with additional PLN 20 million from energy sales (assuming the average expected lifetime of a car at the level of 10 years). The funds obtained in this manner may be partly used for financing innovations in the energy sector in order to gradually reduce the carbon footprint of energy produced in Poland.

Stakeholders recommend not to pre-empt, on a large scale, technical discussions around the taxonomy on significantly harmful activities by making a strict reference to all activities excluded from the Paris-aligned benchmark. They rather suggest limiting this list to companies with at least 1% of exploration, mining, extraction, distribution or refining of hard coal and lignite and those with at least 10% of exploration, extraction, distribution or refining of oil fuels. In addition, they stated that, as demonstrated by the European Commission's recent communication published with the delegated act on the Taxonomy on climate objectives, activities affected by such an exclusion that are related to natural gas will be subject to political discussions on their potential and conditional inclusion in the Taxonomy or an associated trajectory towards carbon neutrality. Also, activities relating to electricity generation with a threshold higher than the Taxonomy threshold of 100g CO2/kwh will be subject to discussions around a transition trajectory towards carbon neutrality by 2050. As regards the exposures towards companies excluded from EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks, stakeholders insist on the fact that, in order to achieve a zero-carbon economy, the challenge is to green the economy. This goal will be better achieved by implementing an inclusive approach aimed at fostering the development and
