The Government is exploring a range of policies that could potentially mitigate future risk of carbon leakage. The government committed to consult on this, as the FST set out on 16th May 2022 in a written ministerial statement, and will now do that in the spring.

As the Chancellor announced in the Autumn Statement, the government will also engage with industry and conduct a review of the Carbon Price Support beyond 2024-25.
