Ammonia

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential implications of low-carbon ammonia for UK energy security, in the context of rising natural gas prices linked to the US-Israel conflict with Iran.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The biggest threat to energy security for families and businesses in the UK is continued reliance on unstable fossil fuel markets. That is why we’re taking back control with clean, homegrown power to ensure our energy security, protect the British people and bring down bills for good.

DESNZ officials are working across government and with industry to understand the role low carbon ammonia could play in the UK’s future energy security.
