Two unspecified airlines regulated by the U.K. may have to buy replacement European carbon allowances so they can return them after they were granted free of charge, the Department of Energy & Climate Change said today.
The department published draft rules that would apply to airlines after the European Union decided to temporarily freeze including flights to and from airports outside the bloc in its carbon market. Those flights were previously meant to be included starting last year.
