Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to further develop a market for investment in green industry.

Driving investment into UK green energy and industries is a priority for this Government.

Since March 2021, the Government has committed £30 billion of domestic green investment. The Government is establishing the regulatory frameworks that will spur investment into green projects – such as through the Energy Bill. The Government is also working closely with DIT to communicate its plans more effectively to private investors. Over the course of this year, the Government has published net zero roadmaps tailored to the investment community for example on Hydrogen and carbon capture as well as hosting the UK’s inaugural Green Trade and Investment Expo.
