Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Grant Shapps and Lia Nici

Tuesday 28th February 2023 Commons Chamber

[Lia Nici (Great Grimsby) (Con)]

12. What progress he has made on meeting the 2050 net zero target.

[The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Grant Shapps)]

The Government continued to make good progress on our pathway to net zero in 2021. The UK’s net territorial greenhouse gas emissions were estimated to be 427 million tonnes. That is 48% lower than they were in 1990.

[Lia Nici]

I know that the Secretary of State and Ministers know the importance of carbon capture, usage and storage, not only to be able to reach our net zero targets, but for the huge job opportunities available in my constituency of Great Grimsby. Can my right hon. Friend please tell me when track 2 of the CCUS cluster sequencing programme will be launched?
