Written Question
Diesel Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions
Friday 7th July 2017

Asked by: Neil Parish (Conservative - Tiverton and Honiton)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has made an assessment of the effect of the use of AdBlue in road transport on the (a) carbon footprint of AdBlue production and (b) level of carbon dioxide emissions.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

The Government is committed to ensuring that the transport sector plays a full part in delivering the emissions reductions needed to meet the Climate Change Act (2008) target for an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 compared to 1990 levels.

The Department for Transport has made no assessment of the Carbon Dioxide emissions of Adblue production or use. Officials regularly review the emerging evidence on carbon dioxide emissions and, where found to be material, will adjust forecasts and policy to reflect this.

Diesel Vehicle Scrappage Scheme

"Heaven forbid that I should say the last Government were perverse. It was the acquired wisdom of the day that we should reduce CO2, and diesel produced more per litre than petrol, so encouraging diesel was the obvious way to go. There were some rumblings at the time, …..."

Diesel Vehicle Scrappage Scheme

"I think that the right hon. Gentleman has started his speech already. The figure I can give him is that in the hotspots in our inner cities, some 60% of the nitric oxide comes from transport. It is quite difficult to break that down and say how much comes from …..."

Diesel Vehicle Scrappage Scheme

"I very much agree, because I think that any scrappage scheme must be very much linked to electric vehicles and certainly hybrid vehicles. I see little point in converting people from diesel back to petrol, especially if we use taxpayers’ money to do that...."
