BIOLIQUIDS

That this Houserecognises the important role which sustainable bioliquids made from waste, such as Used Cooking Oil (UCO), have in helping the UK meet its challenging targets to reduce carbon emissions by 34 per cent. and increase the amount of electricity generated from renewable sources to 15 per cent. by 2020; acknowledges that the Department for Energy and Climate Change's own research indicates that UCO, which can cause serious environmental and economic damage if dumped down the drain, has the highest energy efficiency use when used in Combined Heat and Power; notes that bioliquids produced from waste products avoid a host of contentious issues traditionally associated with biofuels such as the food versus fuel debate; further notes the importance of the UK's rapidly developing bioliquids sector in creating a green collar skills sector; and calls on the Government to make a clear policy commitment which ensures that bioliquids made from waste receive the same level of support offered to other forms of renewable energy such as solid biomass and anaerobic digestion and which, at the same time, disincentivises unsustainable bioliquids.
