The 2023 Biomass Strategy included an assessment of sustainable biomass availability to the UK (including woody biomass), to support the UK’s net zero target. The availability of sustainable woody biomass was estimated using updated modelling which included considerations of global land use to exclude unsustainable changes, as well as accounting for wider land use pressures such as food security and biodiversity.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Decisions on the allocation of funds under the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme are devolved to relevant sporting bodies in respective parts of the UK, as they have appropriate expertise and understanding of local provision. Sport Scotland provides advice and guidance alongside the Scottish FA through the project selection process. Details on the Scottish FA’s approach are published <a href="https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/football-development/scottish-fa-grassroots-pitch-facilities-fund/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>However, multi-sport benefit is a key pillar of the grassroots facilities programme and we stipulate that at least 40% of projects must benefit at least one other sport in addition to football, on a sustained and regular basis. There is no requirement for particular sports to be prioritised as part of this objective, and multi-sport plans are led by local need.</p><p>Projects are selected for a variety of reasons - some for their ability to deliver improved facilities in deprived areas, others may support multi-sport use, and/or increase participation among currently under-represented groups — such as women and girls or disabled players.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The standing charge includes some electricity distribution costs, which vary regionally to reflect the different costs of maintaining and upgrading the distribution network in different regions. Unique geographic factors mean that electricity distribution costs are markedly higher in the North of Scotland than elsewhere in Great Britain. To protect consumers in the North of Scotland from these costs, the government reaffirmed its commitment in January 2023 to the Hydro Benefit Replacement Scheme. This government scheme provides an annual cross subsidy of over £90 million to reduce related charges in the region.</p> more like this
