Energy: Overseas Investment

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 23 July 2021 to Question 35598 on Fossil Fuels: Overseas Investment, if she will publish the projects in CDC Group’s energy portfolio as at December 2020.

Answer

In July 2020, CDC launched its new Climate Strategy. Subsequently, in December 2020, CDC launched its Fossil Fuel Policy and Gas Guidance Tool, which is fully aligned with the UK Government's fossil fuel policy. The policy excludes investment in the vast majority of fossil fuel types with very limited exclusions.

CDC has published its full energy portfolio data for 2020 as at December 2020. Data for 2020 is available on CDC's website: https://www.cdcgroup.com/en/news-insight/insight/articles/the-transition-to-net-zero-explaining-our-current-energy-portfolio/.
