HC Deb 13 July 1988 vol 137 cc258-9W
Mr. Rost

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if, when setting the non-fossil fuel obligation for the electricity industry, he will include electricity generated from methane produced from sewage, biomass, municipal waste and other sources not derived from natural gas.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The details of the non-fossil fuel obligation are still under discussion. However, my current intention is that methane produced from sources other than natural strata should be classified as a non-fossil fuel.
