Which deals with emissions released from fuel combustion activities in specific sectors. Typically energy of 10MW across all facilities.

Fugitive emissions

From fuels, released from the extraction, production, processing and distribution of fossil fuels.

Process emissions

From the consumption of carbonates, synthetic gasses and the use of fuels as feed stocks or as carbon reductants.

Waste emissions

Released from the de- composition of organic material in landfills or wastewater handling facilities and waste incineration.

Exempted sectors:

Agriculture, forestry and other land use except for stationary combustion. As well as road transport emissions are excluded except the transportation of CO2.

An additional tax-free allowance of 10% for process emissions

An additional tax-free allowance of 10% for fugitive emissions

A maximum tax-free allowance of 5% for above average performance.

A 5% tax-free allowance for companies with a Carbon Budget

A variable tax-free allowance for trade-exposed sectors (up to a maximum of 10% )

A carbon offset allowance of either 5% or 10%

The total tax-free allowances during the first phase can be as high as 95% .
