Anne Main (St Albans, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what his Department's policy is on the promotion of micro-generation projects powered by (a) bio-diesel produced from used cooking oil and (b) other waste-derived products.
Joan Ruddock (Minister of State, Department of Energy and Climate Change; Lewisham, Deptford, Labour)
The Government recognise the contribution which waste-derived products, including those from used cooking oil, can make to our renewable energy targets and to the effective management of waste. We will consider further the position of these types of production under the various financial incentives for renewable energy, and will make specific proposals on their use for heating in the forthcoming consultation on the Renewable Heat Incentive.
