Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the context of the EU's exclusion of energy-from-waste incineration projects from its green finance taxonomy, whether he plans for energy-from-waste incineration projects to be in or out of the scope of the UK’s Green Taxonomy.

In the coming months, the Government will be launching a consultation on the Technical Screening Criteria which underpin the Taxonomy. I encourage any interested parties to engage with that consultation.

After the consultation has concluded, the Government will make a final decision on which activities will be included in the taxonomy and the criteria they will need to meet.
