The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what plans he has for the data collected by the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Measurement and Modelling Advancement (GEMMA) programme; and if he will make it his policy to integrate that data into greenhouse gas emissions statistics.

Answered by Kerry McCarthy

The Government monitors and verifies greenhouse gas emissions using measurement data collected through a network of sensors across the country. The Department is working closely with the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Measurement and Modelling Advancement (GEMMA) programme to consider how measurements from this programme could be incorporated into its greenhouse gas inventory verification programme database.
