UK INDUSTRY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY

That this House is concerned that despite recycled fuels manufactured from used cooking oil being more environmentally friendly, they are subject to much heavier and costly regulation than the combustion of the most polluting fossil fuels under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2007; appreciates that technological advances in the renewable energy industry have allowed waste to be recycled into fuel, known as end of waste fuels; accepts that an end of waste fuel that has passed the stringent Carnwath test should be treated as a virgin fuel and that this concept is recognised in both UK and EU law; notes that used cooking oil produces carbon-neutral electricity and contributes to reducing UK dependency on fossil fuels; further notes the UK commitment to ensure renewable energy makes up 15 per cent. of all energy by 2020; recognises that analysis for the Renewable Energy Strategy indicates that nearly a quarter of the changes to reach the UK renewable energy target could come from bioenergy in the heat and electricity sectors; acknowledges with concern that current environmental legislation does not recognise the end of waste criteria; understands that this disincentivises investment in renewable technology and risks putting the UK at a disadvantage in relation to its European counterparts; therefore calls on the Government to update the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 to recognise the end of waste concept and provide a clear timetable for doing so.
