PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Construction: Carbon Emissions (5 July 2023)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the progress of the construction industry in meeting net zero targets.

Asked by:
Helen Morgan (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

We are working with the construction sector, to support a range of initiatives to reduce its emission contributions to help meet our net zero target. This includes the Construction Leadership Council’s Construct Zero initiative, which covers the design of buildings, construction processes, decarbonising plant and machinery it uses, and training in relevant skills. The Government has also worked with the industry to produce the Low Carbon Concrete Routemap, a Zero Diesel Routemap for construction sites and to revise the PAS 2080 standard for carbon management in buildings and infrastructure projects.
