Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Power Stations: Hydrogen (13 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: The Electricity generation costs 2023 report published by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero sets out the assumptions for a hydrogen-fired Combined Cycle Hydrogen Turbine power plant commissioned in 2030. Hydrogen to Power is an emerging technology and as such all figures are subject to change. We will continue to monitor and update cost estimates based on new evidence as it...

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Hydrogen: Industry (13 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: Our ambition is for 10GW low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030. In December we announced eleven major new hydrogen projects across the UK, and our Hydrogen Production Delivery Roadmap sets out proposals for annual allocation rounds from 2025 to 2030, helping to provide certainty for industry. To link up production and demand, we have announced our initial ambition for the first...

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Hydrogen: Industry (13 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: Low carbon hydrogen is likely to be a leading option to decarbonise industrial processes that are harder or more expensive to electrify. We expect uptake of hydrogen via fuel switching of energy intensive sites, as well as those engaging in high temperature, direct-fired processes. Near-term opportunities for hydrogen conversion include high temperature steam boilers and combined heat and...

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Power Stations: Timber (13 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: Ensuring the electricity system is reliable, as well as net zero consistent, means variable renewables, such as wind and solar, need to be complemented by technologies which can provide dispatchable or baseload power. Biomass electricity generation can provide this flexibility and plays a key role in delivering a more secure, clean energy sector in Britain. Parliamentary approval was...

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: EDF Group (12 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: Hinkley Point C (HPC) is not a Government project and its financing is a matter for EDF and its shareholders.

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Energy: Highlands of Scotland ( 9 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: The Department has made no estimate of the potential future energy surplus of the Scottish Highlands. The department’s Energy and Emissions Projections provide an estimate of future UK demand for energy, accounting for existing or near-final policies, and how future demand for electricity might be supplied, but these projections are at national level only.

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Electricity: Costs ( 9 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: The Department will soon be publishing updated analysis comparing the cost of electricity generation across renewable and selected non-renewable technologies, reflecting the latest evidence. This will be published by the end of March 2024. The Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) is a widely used metric which provides a simple way to compare costs across technologies. There are alternative...

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Pipelines: Scotland ( 8 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: The Finnart pipeline is owned and operated by Petroineos. Any maintenance works and their associated costs are the responsibility of the company.

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Pipelines: Scotland ( 8 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: As Petroineos own and operate the two pipelines between Grangemouth refinery and the Finnart terminal, they are responsible for operating and maintaining the refinery, as well as any associated costs. The current status and use of the pipeline is a matter for the company. Public money is not being used to fund the private commercial matter of repair to this pipeline.

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Hinkley Point C Power Station: Construction ( 7 Feb 2024)

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Refineries: Grangemouth ( 7 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: DESNZ officials are in regular contact with Petroineos and the Scottish Government regarding the future options for the site. The UK has overdelivered on every target to cut emissions so far and has cut emissions far faster than any other major economy since 1990. There has been no assessment of the emissions from shipping for the import of finished fuel products to Grangemouth refinery, or...

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Refineries: Grangemouth ( 7 Feb 2024)

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Wind Power: Scotland ( 7 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: The Government has announced the £960 million Green Industries Growth Accelerator to support clean energy manufacturing capacity, including for offshore wind, helping unlock private investment and new jobs. The Floating Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Scheme is making grant funding of up to £160 million available to leverage private investment into port infrastructure to support...

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Sizewell C Power Station: Construction ( 7 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bowie: The National Audit Office assessed that models such as RAB could have resulted in better value for money to consumers if they had been applied to Hinkley Point C. Our plans for implementing the RAB model for nuclear include multiple safeguards to protect consumers’ interests. These include robust due diligence according to HM Treasury Green Book guidance prior to any final investment...

Written Answers — Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Sizewell C Power Station: Construction ( 7 Feb 2024)
