Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what his Department's timescale is for making an assessment of the quantity of forestry needed to grow biomass for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage in 2050.
The Government only supports sustainable biomass. The Government will publish a Biomass Strategy this year which will consider the volume of forestry residues from sustainable forestry operations and the use of other sustainable feedstocks for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage.
