COMPLIANCE, STRATEGY, SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE AND OPPORTUNITIES
This course offers a comprehensive understanding of the EU ETS and UK ETS regulatory frameworks, covering their scope, design, and evolving legislative landscape. Participants will stay updated with current developments, including amendments under the Fit-for-55 package and changes in sectoral applicability, as well as a dedicated focus day on supply chain resilience linked to the ETS schemes.
The course also delves into the principles and practices of monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) in line with the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation (MRR). Crucially, it focuses on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and their role in decarbonising aviation. Participants will understand SAF treatment within the EU and UK ETS and compare SAF treatment under CORSIA versus the EU and UK ETS.
NEW SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE DAY:
One of the key objectives of the Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS) in the EU and UK is the enhancement of supply chain resilience by driving investment in low-carbon technologies. The associated carbon price incentivises businesses to decarbonise operations and reduce reliance on high-carbon, potentially volatile, supply chain links.
The latest edition of the ETS, Carbon Markets and Sustainable Aviation Masterclass will also include a third day, deep-diving into the importance of supply chain resilience.
By the end of the course, attendees will be well-equipped to navigate the complexities of these frameworks and apply their knowledge to real-world environmental strategies.
