The Carbon Trust
The Government have recognised the value of using energy saving products in business and the positive impact that this awareness can have on our environment. Therefore, in order to help businesses determine which products can be officially classified as "energy-saving" the Carbon Trust was formed as the technical advisor to the Government.

The Carbon Trust is responsible for the development and maintenance of a list of products that qualify for the Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme; a higher rate of tax relief. This list is referred to as the Energy Technology List.

Energy Technology List
The ETL is a list of technological products that have been independently assessed and officially classified as producing reductions in energy consumption. The ETL is not only environmentally friendly it is a useful reference guide for helping businesses to identify which products can save them money on long-term operating costs.

Enhanced Capital Allowance
As an incentive to businesses to choose products from the ETL the Government have created a tax break called the Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme. Businesses that invest in energy-saving products from the ETL automatically qualify for 100% Capital Allowance benefits.
