        UK National Allocation Plan 2005 - 2007

        In July 2004, the UK government published its national allocation plan (NAP) for carbon dioxide emissions under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. The NAP allocated 736Mt of carbon dioxide to installations covered by the scheme over the 2005-07 period. The allowances were allocated for free to the 1,080 installations covered by the scheme. The allocation amounts to a reduction of 5.5Mt of carbon dioxide. New entrants will have access to allowances from a pool of 7.7% of the total allowances. Any surplus of allowances remaining in the new entrant reserve at the end of each year…

        Domestic Emissions Trading Pilot Scheme for Korean Industries and Power Sector

        This pilot scheme aims to provide Korean industries and power sectors with opportunities to accumulate experiences in emissions trading before the start of Korean emissions trading scheme in 2015. The scheme participants perform simulation trading using cyber money instead of cash via a web-based online trading platform. Also, by linking with GHG Emissions Target Management Scheme's MRV system, the pilot scheme evaluates the compliance status of each participant.
