The Regulations define which carbon units may be included in the net Welsh emissions account and set out how carbon units may be credited to the net Welsh emissions account. They also enable the Welsh Ministers to open “the Welsh credit account” and provide that any carbon unit that is to be credited to the net Welsh emissions account must be held in that account. The Welsh Ministers shall maintain a register containing details of the carbon units credited to and debited from the net Welsh emissions account and the details of carbon units cancelled.
