About this guide
Around 20,000 large public and private sector
organisations will be involved in the CRC
Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) in some way.
The document is written as a practical tool for
those people within these organisations who
will be responsible for ensuring compliance
with the scheme. In many cases, this will be
energy managers and financial managers.
Introduction to CRC
About this guide
This guide has been designed to fit
alongside the CRC guidance that has been
issued by the Environment Agency, which
covers the technical processes involved
for an organisation participating in CRC.
These guidance documents are available
to download from the Environment Agency
website: www.environment-agency.gov.uk/crc
An Introduction to the CRC Energy
Efficiency Scheme
Who must participate in CRC?
When does CRC start?
How much do allowances cost
and how do organisations
buy them?
Section 1 provides an overview of CRC and
its principles. This would be a good place to
start if you have no previous knowledge of
CRC. The later sections explain different
aspects of the scheme in more detail.
There are a number of technical terms involved
in CRC. A glossary at the end explains these
terms and they are italicised the first time
they appear.
