PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS > CARBON CAPTURE - 18 JULY 2009
Mr. Devine: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what recent assessment he has made of the development of carbon capture and storage technology; and if he will make a statement.
Edward Miliband: Carbon capture and storage technology has huge potential to turn coal into a clean fuel of the future. While it has only been demonstrated at small scale, our plans will be among the largest demonstration projects in the world and we hope will drive us towards the successful deployment of CCS in developed and developing countries.
Mr. Ronnie Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what his policy on carbon capture and storage is; and if he will make a statement.
Edward Miliband: Carbon capture and storage is essential in the battle against climate change, because of the global reliance on coal in the energy mix, now and in the future. Our policy is to show leadership on this issue as a way to improve our energy security, help provide jobs for the future and bring down carbon emissions.
