With this it will be convenient to discuss amendment No. 73, in schedule 2, page 51, line 34, at end insert—
‘(5A) (a) Any method specified for the purposes of paragraph (5) shall have the aim of ensuring that any amount calculated bears as close a relationship as possible to the actual emissions of the activities to which the trading scheme applies;
(b) where biomass is used as an energy source, any such method shall take account of the carbon absorbed during the lifetime of the biomass;
(c) “biomass” has the same meaning as in the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations Order 2007.’.
