We face two major challenges at the moment. One is from climate and the other is because of the war in Ukraine. We are seeing energy security issues and rising costs. It is vital that we examine all possible approaches to deal with this issue. Transport is particularly dependent on imported fuels. What plans does the Government have to increase the use of biodiesel, biomethane and ethanol as fuels? What plans does it have to produce as much of those as possible from within the country and not to be importing them? There are significant opportunities for biomethane production in this country but we seem to be moving very slowly. It has two major gains, climate and security.
