Biomass

EDM number 35 in 2006-07, proposed by James Paice on 15/11/2006.

That this House notes that biomass heating could reduce household carbon emissions by around three million tonnes, equivalent to taking 3.25 million cars off the road; recognises the significant environmental and economic benefits of using farm and forestry waste as well as specific crops to produce energy and the opportunities that energy crops offer farmers, landowners and rural communities to diversify their activities and rebuild rural economies in a sustainable manner; regrets that biomass only accounts for one per cent. of total UK heat generation; and calls on the Government to rebalance the renewables obligation away from its bias towards land-based wind power to create the stimulus necessary for the development of a sustainable biomass industry.

This motion has been signed by a total of 102 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
