The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what plans he has to increase funding for the Industrial Decarbonisation and Energy Efficiency Roadmaps.

Answered by Chris McDonald

The government is providing significant funding to catalyse progress on industrial decarbonisation, including £9.4 billion in capital funding for carbon capture, usage and storage and £500 million to support hydrogen infrastructure.

We are also continuing to develop policies to bring down electricity costs relative to gas for the non-domestic sector, including industry, and intend to consult on options. Further details will be set out in our new forthcoming plan for industrial decarbonisation in due course.
