This Order, made under sections 11(6) and 91(1) of the Climate Change Act 2008 sets a limit of the net amount of carbon units that may be credited to the net UK carbon account for the 2018-2022 budgetary period. It also sets out certain carbon units which are excluded from the level of the limit. These are carbon units credited to and debited from the net UK carbon account as a result of the operation of the EU emissions trading scheme. Carbon units are defined in regulation 3 of the Carbon Accounting Regulations 2009.
