Renewable Fuels: Carbon Emissions

Asked by Jayne KirkhamLabour (Co-op)Department for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 6 March 2025UIN 35113

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of the potential implications for his policies of decisions taken by the (a) Scottish Government, (b) Northern Ireland Executive and (c) Republic of Ireland Government to commit to using renewable liquid fuels as a key part of their decarbonisation strategies.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

Although heat policy is a devolved matter, policies relating to the supply of fuels (including renewable liquid heating fuels) are reserved. Officials work closely with the Devolved Governments when developing UK Government policies and will be considering these nations’, and the Republic of Ireland’s, decarbonisation strategies’ impact on future policies.
