Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the impact of the Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy on the creation of skilled jobs and businesses.

The Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy is creating new job opportunities through the deployment of low carbon infrastructure, and is supporting the skills transition so that the current and future workforce benefit from the creation of new jobs. The Government estimated that over 250,000 green jobs could be created across the UK. For example, our commitment to support deployment of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage could help to create 50,000 jobs alone in the UK by 2030.
