Last week the Environment Agency issued a number of new CRC documents, including a User Guide and Short Guidance Notes.

These publications clarify the final details of the Scheme which comes into effect in April this year, following the results of the government consultation in October 2009.

For landlords and tenants it is worth noting that the User Guide specifically reiterates that landlords cannot transfer the responsibility for CRC to their tenants.

Copies of the User Guide and other new CRC documents are available if you click here (dmtrk.co.uk/AYH-34G2-FF1BWEDY5E/cr.aspx).

Scotland's Hydrogen Opportunity: Why Land, Infrastructure and Regulatory Certainty Matter

Scotland's hydrogen sector is advancing rapidly as developers and investors navigate the complex landscape of land rights, infrastructure requirements, and regulatory frameworks needed to achieve ambitious production targets. With 5GW targeted by 2030 and 25GW by 2045, the intersection of real estate, planning, and evolving EU standards will determine which projects successfully deliver low-carbon hydrogen production and export capabilities.
