Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the Climate Change Committee’s recommendation that the vast majority of the biomass burnt in UK power stations should be UK grown; and whether any of the wood pellets burnt in UK power stations in 2021 were from trees grown in the UK.
The Government will consider the use of domestically grown biomass feedstocks as part of the Biomass Strategy.
