Carbon Trust

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change how much his Department and its predecessor paid to the Carbon Trust in each of the last five years; and for what purpose.
Answer

The Carbon Trust has received the following DECC and DEFRA funding in the last five years:

£
2006-07 78,600,000
2007-08 90,700,000
2008-09 89,063,000
2009-10 216,465,000
2010-11 127,880,000

Funding has been granted to support carbon abatement in the business and public sectors and to support elements of the trust's work to develop low carbon technologies. In 2009-10 and 2010-11 the higher level of funding reflects the introduction of interest free energy efficiency loans for SMEs and the public sector plus Marine Renewables Proving, Offshore Wind Accelerator and Venture Capital investment.
