Motion text

That this House recognises the benefits that energy from biomass offers the United Kingdom; believes that it can play a critical role in reducing UK greenhouse gas emissions; notes 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; 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.
