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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department plans to update its anaerobic digestion action and strategy plan.

Anaerobic Digestion (AD) has the potential to support the UK to decarbonise, divert waste from landfill and produce nutrient-rich fertiliser.

Through the Feed In Tariff, Renewables Obligation and Renewable Heat Incentive, Government has supported the deployment of 0.46 GW of AD. We currently have no plans to update the Anaerobic Digestion Strategy and Action Plan, but we continue to assess the potential benefits of AD through delivery of the Industrial Strategy and Clean Growth Strategy.
