PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CLIMATE CHANGE (12 October 2010)

That this House believes that new and emerging technologies such as passive flue gas heat retention systems (PFGHR), voltage optimisation and standby down-powering could have a significant effect in combating climate change and fuel poverty; notes that the previous Minister, the former hon. Member for Stafford, agreed to include PFGHR systems in the new microgeneration strategy and that the current Ministers, the hon. Members for Wealden and Bexhill and Battle, tabled an amendment to the Energy Bill 2009 in support of these technologies; further notes, however, that these technologies do not feature in the Government's 2050 Pathways Analysis for carbon dioxide reduction; and calls on the Government to ensure that PFGHR systems are included in the new microgeneration strategy and that all these technologies are included in future pathways to achieve required carbon dioxide reductions, and that the amendment to the previous Energy Bill is included in the future Energy Security and Green Economy Bill.
