answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2023 answer text <p>The organisations eligible for the Energy and Trade Intensive Industries scheme are those operating within sectors that fall above the 80th percentile for energy intensity and 60th percentile for trade intensity, as per ONS trade data, and those within sectors eligible for the existing Energy Intensive Industries compensation schemes. Both of those thresholds must be met to warrant inclusion, meaning that some energy intensive sectors, which are not significantly trade intensive like swimming pools and leisure centre, will not be eligible for support. The definition used for trade intensity is the international trade in goods in relation to the sector’s turnover percentile of the criteria set for the enhanced support for Energy and Trade Intensive Industries.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 10/02/2023 10:01:56 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2023 answer text <p>The Government currently has no plans to review the eligibility criteria for the Energy and Trade Intensive element of the Energy Bill Discount Scheme. The HMT-led review of the Energy Bill Relief Scheme took account of many contributions from the private sector, trade associations, the voluntary sector and other types of organisations. Trade and energy intensity assessments were based on ONS and BEIS data. These thresholds have been set at sectors falling above the 80th percentile for energy intensity, and 60th percentile for trade intensity, plus any sectors eligible for the existing energy compensation and exemption schemes. The list of eligible Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), as published on gov.uk, will be eligible for the higher level of support.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 10/02/2023 10:17:52 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2023 answer text <p>The Green Gas Support Scheme provides tariff-based support for biomethane produced via anaerobic digestion injected into the gas grid in Great Britain. The scheme requires that at least 50% of all biomethane (by energy content) produced must use waste or residue feedstocks, which may include residues from the whiskey distilling process.</p><p> </p><p>Achieving the Government's legally binding net zero targets will require a range of technologies. Low carbon hydrogen will be critical to helping vital British industries transition away from expensive oil and gas, as well as providing greener energy for power, transport, and potentially home heating.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 10/02/2023 10:04:14 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
