Answer
As sustainable biomass is a limited resource, the Government expects to prioritise its use in sectors like aviation which have fewest options to decarbonise. Renewable liquid heating fuels (RLHF) are also much more expensive to use than other heating solutions.
However, the Government recognises that RLHFs could play a limited role in decarbonising heat off the gas grid.
