Firms have been fined a total of £99,000 for failing to report Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) data. The fines are for late submission of a carbon footprint report and an annual report needed by the regulation, which compels more than 2,000 businesses with energy bills totalling £500,000 a year to measure and pay for each tonne of carbon dioxide they emit. Among those penalised were international utility Saur's UK arm (a sum of £41,000) and engineering company BI Group (£10,000).
