The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to ensure that new technologies comply with Net Zero targets.

Answered by Kerry McCarthy

Innovation is essential for the Government’s mission to deliver clean power by 2030 and accelerate to net zero, helping to develop and drive down the cost of new technologies.

Around £4.2bn is being invested in research and innovation over 2022-2025 to catalyse the development and commercialisation of these technologies. Furthermore, Great British Energy and our National Wealth Fund, will support clean technologies and investment across the country.
