How Will DTE’s Long-Term Plan Impact Michigan’s Clean Energy Future?

Union of Concerned Scientists

Additionally, long-term energy plans consider how utilities will operate their existing power generating facilities and what type of new facilities they might build and when. DTE’s goal is to reach “net-zero” emissions by 2050 while reducing its carbon emissions from 2005 levels 65 percent by 2028, 85 percent by 2035, and 90 percent by 2040.

UK Government Announces New Import Carbon Pricing Mechanism

Clean Energy Law

UK ETS Currently the UK’s main measure to mitigate carbon leakage risk is the system of free allocation under the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS).
