Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether, as part of the EU–UK Reset Agreement, they have (1) committed to linking the UK to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme 2 (ETS2), (2) agreed to discuss linking the UK to the ETS2 without commitment, or (3) decided not to link the UK to the ETS2.

As part of the UK-EU Summit on 19^th May, the UK and the EU have agreed to work towards linking the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) and EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). This will be subject to negotiations.

The Government has agreed with the EU that we will not be linking the UK to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme 2 (ETS2). EU ETS 2 is a separate scheme to the original EU ETS and covers emissions from buildings and road transport.
