Biofuels: Subsidies
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of reallocating subsidies for burning bioenergy towards lower carbon renewables.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Government has set an ambitious target of clean power by 2030 as part of its mission to become a clean energy superpower. We have received advice from the NESO on how to achieve this target. We will review this advice and outline our approach to clean power by 2030 in our Action Plan, expected later this year. The role of different low carbon technologies in the future electricity system, including biomass, will be considered as part of that.
