Britain’s approach to the use of bioenergy is “piecemeal’ and “lacking ambition” and calls into question the government’s commitment to tackling climate change, an influential committee of MPs warned today.
The commons environment, food and rural affairs committee said the government should promote greater use of energy produced from organic sources to help reduce carbon emissions and that Britain was lagging behind other countries in this area.
It criticised the lack of emphasis on heat derived from biomass – plant or animal materials such as timber crops, straw or other waste.
