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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 6 October to Question 53356 on Fossil Fuels, what data was the basis for his calculation that production emissions from oil and gas will be compatible with carbon budgets under the 2008 Climate Act; and if he will place a copy of that data in the House of Commons Library.

The Net Zero Strategy sets out the UK’s planned emissions pathway with carbon budget targets under the 2008 Climate Change Act. The data set is publicly available.

The Net Zero Strategy pathway considers both emissions from unabated oil and gas consumption and emissions associated with domestic production of oil and gas.
