Energy: Carbon Capture and Storage
Debate between Lord Skelmersdale and Lord Marland
Lord Marland
My noble friend asks a very important question, but I should point out that the North Sea Basin Task Force has been established to develop a project jointly between ourselves and Norway to look at what can be stored in the North Sea basin and under the sea bed.
Lord Skelmersdale
My Lords, will the Government encourage the new coal stations that are being built to operate a dual-fuel policy—coal and biofuels—such as that being carried out at the Drax power station?
Lord Marland
Obviously, the reduction in fossil fuels must be encouraged in every possible way.
