Domestic shipping included in UK ETS; international shipping exclusion under consultation
Conclusion
We welcome the inclusion of domestic shipping in the UK Emissions Trading Scheme from 2026. We also note the initial decision of the UK ETS Authority not to extend the UK ETS to cover international shipping. The Authority’s position is subject to further consultation.
