| Reduce Carbon Emissions | | | | |  | | The Carbon Emissions Reduction Target is all about reducing CO2 emissions, one of the main causes of climate change. CERT came into effect in April 2008, and it obliges energy companies to take steps to ensure that the amount of CO2 emissions from homes is reduced | | | | | As the name suggests, there's a set target for the amount by which CO2 emissions should be reduced. CERT will be in effect for three years, with the target of making an annual net saving of 4.2 million tonnes of CO2 by the end of the programme. | | | | | CERT is actually the third phase of a programme that has been running since 2002 to reduce CO2 emissions. The previous phase was known as the Energy Efficiency Commitment. This new phase doubles the targets of the previous three-year phase, which started in April 2005. | | | | | As a result you can receive a grant to cover the cost of the insulation to cover from 40% up to 100% of the cost of the insulation. | | | | | To see the percentage of grant funding you qualify for please fill in your postcode to the right. | | |
