Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 19 September 2023 to Question 199325 on Biofuels, whether that assessment includes whether transitional support should (a) include all unabated biomass power generators and (b) be restricted to biomass power generation sites scoped into the power bioenergy and carbon capture programme.

Government plans to consult shortly on eligibility for potential support for facilitating the transition from unabated biomass generation to power bioenergy with carbon capture and storage.
