Renewable Fuels

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent discussions he has had with the energy sector on levels of global production and supply of (a) hydrotreated vegetable oil and (b) other renewable liquid fuels; and what assessment he has made of the potential implications for UK domestic heating.

Answer

The Government meets regularly with the energy sector to monitor levels of global production and supply of renewable liquid fuels.

The Government expects heat pumps will be the primary technology for decarbonising off-grid buildings. The Government recognises that not all off-grid properties will be suitable for a heat pump and there will be a role for alternative low carbon technologies where heat pumps cannot be used.
