CARBON ABATEMENT

Early day motion 330, tabled 15 June 2005 by Desmond Turner (Labour). Signed by 62 members.

That this House warmly welcomes the announcement by the Energy Minister of funding for a carbon abatement programme for cleaner burning of gas and coal with carbon sequestration and of a hydrogen fuelled fuel cell programme; believes that the latter is the opportunity to begin commercial application of hydrogen power to road transport; and calls on the Department of Trade and Industry to consider further measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from transport by promoting the availability of fuels with a high biomass content such as bio-ethanol.
