Climate Change Agreements

 
 
 
 
 
To assist competitiveness for energy-intensive payers of the CCL, the Climate Change Agreements exist as negotiated agreements between industry and Government for additional CO2 reduction targets. In return, companies meeting these targets receive an 80% discount from the Climate Change Levy.

There are ten major energy intensive sectors (aluminium, cement, ceramics, chemicals, food & drink, foundries, glass, non-ferrous metals, paper, and steel) and over thirty smaller sectors with agreements to-date.

To find out more, please refer to Climate Change Agreements and the Climate Change Levy (DEFRA).
