Join Climate Change Agreements

The climate change agreement (CCA) scheme is open until 2030, with reporting requirements ending on 31 December 2030 but relief from the Climate Change Levy (CCL) continuing for compliant participants until 31 March 2033.

New entrants are able to apply to join the scheme between 1 January and 31 August each year, with the final new entrant window in 2030.

Applicants will need to complete the following steps to join our sector’s CCA:

1. Get in touch with ciabata@cia.org.uk to let us know you would like to join.
2. Demonstrate that your site is eligible for a CCA in the chemical sector.
3. Complete all forms required by CIABATA to support your application.
4. Apply to become a member of the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) or its subsidiary company, CIABATA, which manages the CCA for the chemical sector.
5. Once your application is accepted, ask your energy suppliers to apply your CCL relief entitlements to your energy bills.
