Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment her department has made of the impact on the UK’s international methane emission commitments of the expiration of the Renewables Obligation for landfill gas to energy generation on 31 March 2027.

The Government is aware that Renewables Obligation support will begin to end in March 2027 and is committed to reducing methane emissions.

The Government is exploring options for potential future support, and proposals will undergo proper scrutiny and consideration, including a robust assessment of emissions impacts. The department provides regular updates to the sector and will provide further in due course.
