BEIS aims to commission a research project to assess if the minimum threshold for participating in the UK Emissions Trading Scheme can be modified. The supplier engagement session is scheduled for Wednesday 14th September 2022, offering an opportunity for businesses to provide feedback and engage in non-competitive dialogue to aid BEIS in formulating its requirements. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses interested in energy and research and development services to engage with BEIS and potentially secure a contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete as BEIS is keen on gathering diverse data to inform its policy decisions. The supplier engagement session will provide insights that can influence the final tender documentation, ensuring business input is considered. Interested organisations should register for the supplier day to participate in discussions and share their expertise on the project. ## Notice ***Update and Re-published*** As part of proposals to reform and develop UK Emissions Trading Scheme, the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is seeking to gather evidence on whether the existing minimum threshold for participation in the ETS could be reasonably changed to expand the number of participants in the ETS. BEIS does not currently gather data on operators outside the scope of the ETS. In 2019, industrial emissions were 68.4MtCO2e and 56.4MtCO2e of which occurred via combustion processes. A total of 37.2MtCO2e (66%) was traded while 19.2MtCO2e (34%) was non-traded. BEIS is aiming to gather more information on the source of these non-traded emissions. Concerns have arisen that the existing threshold may be shielding some high emitters from carbon policies. BEIS seeks to commission a research project to support further policy development on the existing thermal input thresholds. The UK ETS Policy team at BEIS has acquired a considerable amount of qualitative data through its recent public consultation which included a Call for Evidence on potential market distortions caused by thresholds. However, quantitative data is still lacking. As evidenced by the recent public consultation, altering the threshold is very contentious and can have a significant economic impact across sectors and therefore it is integral that BEIS gathers as much data as possible to inform its final policy positions.
