answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2018 answer text <p>Steel made via the electric arc furnace process does not require coal, as it melts steel scrap directly in the furnace.</p><p>Full replacement of fossil fuels in cement manufacture is technically possible but there are barriers and significant investment would be needed. In 2016 the UK cement industry replaced 39% of its fuel demand with waste derived alternatives. The industry is working with Government to increase this further, through the joint Action Plan for the Industrial Decarbonisation and Energy Efficiency Roadmaps Programme published in October 2017.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 17/09/2018 15:22:26 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
