SI 2026/278. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Order 2026. Comes into force 11th March. These Regulations amend The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Order 2020 (SI 2020/1265). The first main change arises because of the introduction of the United Kingdom Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The second main change is to enable operators of incumbent installations to have their 2020, or 2020 and 2021, scheme year data excluded from the calculation of their “historical activity levels”. The third main change is that existing “benchmarks” (which reflect an average emissions intensity per unit of product of the most efficient installations in each sector) in Annex 8 to the Free Allocation Regulation will be used to calculate free allocation in the 2027 scheme year.
