Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent progress his Department has made on implementation of the Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy.

The Government has made significant progress in implementing the 2021 Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy, recognising that there is more to done. This includes: announcing the Track-1 projects in negotiation to support of the Government's ambition to capture 20-30 MtCO2 per year by 2030, funded from £20 billion of investment in CCUS; launching a consultation on policies designed to create a market for low carbon industrial goods; funding for projects to deliver Resource and Energy Efficiency (REEE) measures; and developing a net zero aligned Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) to send a strong market signal to incentivise industry to decarbonise.
