Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether she has had discussions with her counterparts in the Republic of Iceland on the trade of Icelandic geothermal energy.

The United Kingdom is committed to building on our strong green trade partnership with Iceland. Our UK-EEA/EFTA free trade agreement is one of our greenest trade deals and provides the framework for continued dialogues with Iceland on the development and utilisation of climate friendly energy.

Officials discussed efforts to transition to Net Zero, including Iceland’s transition to carbon neutrality through geothermal energy, at the UK-EEA/EFTA Trade and Sustainable Development Subcommittee held in November last year.
