About us

CarbonPrice.co.uk is an independent UK website. We bring together the official carbon price figures that UK businesses, analysts and journalists need, and explain what they mean in plain English.

Carbon prices are about to matter to far more UK companies. The UK carbon border adjustment mechanism starts on 1 January 2027, EU importers start buying CBAM certificates in February 2027, and the UK and EU are working towards linking their emissions trading schemes. The official numbers behind all of this are scattered across GOV.UK, the European Commission and exchange reports. We put them in one place, keep them up to date, and show where every figure comes from.

What we are not

We are not a government body, an exchange, a registry or a broker, and we are not affiliated with any of them. We do not sell carbon credits or give investment, tax or legal advice.

How we make money

Our prices, data, guides and calculator are free to use. We charge for optional tools: the Carbon Reduction Plan builder, UK CBAM templates and CarbonPrice Pro. In time we may also earn from advertising, sponsorship and referrals to carefully chosen CBAM and carbon accounting providers. Referrals will always be labelled, and they never change the figures we publish.
