Letters: Proposals to Expand Emissions Trading Scheme
enfinium CEO Mike Maudsley comments on the UK government's Emissions Trading Scheme consultation.
Sirs,
Today, the UK Emissions Authority published a package of consultations on expanding the UK Emissions Trading Scheme to further limit carbon emissions.
The announcements underline the importance of decarbonisation to the future of the UK energy from waste sector.
Even if the UK hits its recycling targets, there will still be 17 million tonnes of unrecyclable waste in the early 2040s.
But by working together with national and local governments, we believe that the problem of unrecyclable waste can be turned into a net zero solution.
That is why enfinium has published a detailed and independently verified Net Zero Transition Plan setting out our ambition to install carbon capture technology across our fleet over the coming years, transforming enfinium into a carbon removals business in the 2030s.
