Alternative Fuels: Ammonia

Asked by Kit MalthouseConservativeDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 12 March 2025UIN 35326

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of including green ammonia technologies in (a) the advanced manufacturing or (b) clean energy industries sections of the Industrial Strategy.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Industrial Strategy Green Paper identified eight growth-driving sectors, including both advanced manufacturing and clean energy industries. Low carbon ammonia could play a role in reaching net zero as part of a diverse energy mix. All sectors can shape and benefit from policy reform through the Industrial Strategy’s cross-cutting policies alongside the broader Growth Mission.

The Industrial Strategy, alongside Sector Plans for the growth-driving sectors, will be published in spring 2025, aligned with the multi-year Spending Review.
