answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2018 answer text <p>While the UK’s 2050 target and carbon budgets currently exclude emissions from international aviation and international shipping, the Committee on Climate Change has advised on planning for these emissions and their assumptions are incorporated into the Government’s 2050 pathways as set out in the Clean Growth Strategy. The Government is continuing to work to decarbonise the aviation and shipping sectors, both through international action, such as standards and offsetting schemes, and domestically, for example through support for sustainable alternative fuels, improved efficiency and new technologies.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 12/06/2018 15:26:19 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2018 answer text <p>As I said at the Westminster Hall Debate on the UK oil and gas industry on 19 April, we will commission a UK-wide scoping study on an ultra-deep water port to support the decommissioning of offshore oil and gas assets. We will work closely with the Scottish Government which had already commissioned a UK-wide study to support its own commitment through its own Programme for Government. I have since discussed this issue in a meeting with Paul Wheelhouse MSP, and BEIS officials remain in contact with counterparts from the Scottish Government on their study. We expect to tender for a UK Government study in the near future and will ensure that we do not duplicate the work undertaken by the consultants working on behalf of the Scottish Government.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 12/06/2018 15:32:27 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

uin	149640
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2018 answer text <p>The Department draws on a variety of data sources, such as the International Energy Agency, to analyse global energy trends. According to the International Energy Agency, global coal demand rose by around 1% in 2017, but this followed declines in the previous two years. The increase in 2017 is also well below the average annual growth rate of the preceding decade which was 3.3% and global coal demand is still well below its 2014 peak. Coal demand from the power sector drove the increase; lower demand from industry went some way to offset that. Developing economies in emerging Asia saw the largest increases, while demand fell in Europe and the United States.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 12/06/2018 15:29:12 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
