Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will publish the studies or data available on the estimated increased emissions caused by increased shipping that would result from the closure of the Grangemouth Refinery.

DESNZ officials are in regular contact with Petroineos and the Scottish Government regarding the future options for the site.

The UK has overdelivered on every target to cut emissions so far and has cut emissions far faster than any other major economy since 1990. There has been no assessment of the emissions from shipping for the import of finished fuel products to Grangemouth refinery, or of the difference in emissions between importing finished oil products and crude oil.
