Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the Powering up Britain report, published on 30 March 2023, what the total amount of funding is that has been allocated to decarbonising energy-intensive industries.

The Government is providing more than £2 billion of funding this decade to decarbonise energy-intensive industries, through multiple schemes supporting carbon capture, hydrogen, and other industrial decarbonisation technologies. In the ‘Powering Up Britain’ plan, the Government announced an extension to the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF), increasing funding available through that scheme to £500m.
