PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(28 August 2026)

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of NESO Future Energy Scenarios' ambition of achieving 30TWh of domestic renewable gas production by 2035.

Asked by:
Josh Newbury (Labour)

The Department is aware of a range of evidence showing that increasing biomethane deployment is a cost-effective route to delivering net zero, whilst also offering wider system benefits, such as waste management. This includes the Biomass Strategy 2023 estimate of 30-40TWh of biomethane production in 2050.

The Department is carefully considering this evidence to inform future support for the biomethane sector.
