The offering to businesses - The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme launched today aimed at saving public and private sector organisations around £1billion per year by 2020 through cost effective energy efficiency measures that are not yet being taken up. Participants’ performance will be published in the form of a league table. All revenue raised from the sale of emissions allowances will be recycled back to participants with those who have increased efficiency receiving more of this money. Customers, clients and competitors will also to see that their organisation is a leader in tackling climate change. They will be able to generate further income from selling any unused permits.
