Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

This consultation sets out the UK government’s and the devolved administrations’ approach to UK carbon pricing once we have left the EU, and seeks stakeholders’ views on the design of a future scheme.

This consultation is of particular interest to:

  • individual companies
  • representatives of industrial, power and aviation sectors with obligations under the EU ETS
  • environmental groups

This consultation is not limited to these stakeholders; any organisation or individual is welcome to respond.

8 July 2019

The original version of the consultation document contained a duplicated question (Q79) and a duplicated question number (Q33), which means that question numbers beyond that were misnumbered. We have now updated the document.

The online version is correct and we encourage you to use that to respond as the most efficient and effective option.

This is a joint consultation of the UK government, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland.
