Carbon Accounting (Wales) Regulations 2018 (W.S.I. No. 1301 (W. 255) of 2018).

These Regulations make provision about carbon accounting and carbon units for the purposes of calculating the net Welsh emissions account under Part 2 of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016, which requires the Welsh Ministers to meet targets for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases from Wales. The Regulations define which carbon units may be included in the net Welsh emissions account and set out how carbon units may be credited to the net Welsh emissions account. They also enable the Welsh Ministers to open “the Welsh credit account” and provide that any carbon unit that is to be credited to the net Welsh emissions account must be held in that account. The Welsh Ministers shall maintain a register containing details of the carbon units credited to and debited from the net Welsh emissions account and the details of carbon units cancelled.
