SCHEDULE 7Hospitals and small emitters
PART 4Emissions targets
Emissions targets for 2026-2030 allocation periodI117
1
This paragraph applies for the purpose of calculating an installation's emissions targets for the scheme years in the 2026-2030 allocation period under—
a
paragraph 11(1)(f)(ii) and (iv);
b
paragraph 21.
2
Where a regulated activity begins to be carried out at the installation before 2024, the installation's emissions target for a scheme year is the installation's relevant emissions multiplied by the reduction factor for the scheme year.
3
For the purpose of sub-paragraph (2), the relevant emissions of an installation are—
a
where a regulated activity begins to be carried out at the installation before 2021, the sum of the installation's reportable emissions in 2021, 2022 and 2023 divided by 3;
b
where a regulated activity begins to be carried out at the installation in 2021, the sum of the installation's reportable emissions in 2022 and 2023 divided by 2;
c
where a regulated activity begins to be carried out at the installation in 2022, the installation's reportable emissions in 2023;
d
where a regulated activity begins to be carried out at the installation in 2023, the installation's reportable emissions in 2024.
4
Where a regulated activity begins to be carried out at the installation in 2024, the installation's emissions target—
a
for the 2026 scheme year is the 2026 estimate multiplied by the reduction factor for the 2026 scheme year;
b
for every other scheme year (the “relevant scheme year”) in the 2026-2030 allocation period is the installation's reportable emissions in the 2025 scheme year multiplied by the reduction factor for the relevant scheme year.
5
Where a regulated activity begins to be carried out at the installation in the period beginning on 1st January 2025 and ending on 31st October 2025, the installation's emissions target—
a
for the 2026 scheme year is the 2026 estimate multiplied by the reduction factor for the 2026 scheme year;
b
for the 2027 scheme year is the 2026 estimate multiplied by the reduction factor for the 2027 scheme year;
c
for every other scheme year (the “relevant scheme year”) in the 2026-2030 allocation period is the installation's reportable emissions in the 2026 scheme year multiplied by the reduction factor for the relevant scheme year.
6
In sub-paragraphs (4) and (5), “2026 estimate” means the estimate of the installation's reportable emissions in the 2026 scheme year provided under—
a
in the case of a hospital-qualifying installation, paragraph 6(3)(b);
b
in any other case, paragraph 6(6).
7
For the purpose of this paragraph, the reduction factor for a scheme year set out in column 1 of table E is the value set out in the corresponding entry in column 2.
Column 1 | Column 2 |
---|---|
Scheme year | Reduction factor |
2026 | 0.8882 |
2027 | 0.8602 |
2028 | 0.8322 |
2029 | 0.8043 |
2030 | 0.7763 |
8
In this paragraph, a reference to reportable emissions is a reference to reportable emissions—
F3aa
determined under article 45; or
b
where relevant, set out in an emissions report accompanied by the declaration referred to in paragraph 11(2)(b)(ii).
9
This paragraph is subject to paragraph 14.
