- Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate she has made of the number of trees that have been planted to be used in biofuel or biomass in each of the last five years.
- Answer
-
In 2013/14, 4.51 million tonnes of woody biomass were used to generate electricity. 32% of this was from UK sources, 68% was imported. We do not hold data on the number of trees felled each year for use as biofuel, or the number of trees planted each year to be used as biofuel.
