Shipping: Carbon Emissions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the maritime decarbonisation plan on the UK economy by 2029.
Answered by Mike Kane
We will shortly set out our next steps for reducing shipping emissions in a forthcoming maritime decarbonisation plan, which will include a package of policy and regulatory measures. Maritime has a key role to play in supporting the Governments missions, including to Kickstart Economic Growth, and our plans will ensure that we seize the green growth opportunity of maritime decarbonisation, whilst limiting any impacts to business. We will publish an impact assessment and consult the industry on individual measures, and economic impacts will form part of these assessments.
