HC Deb 04 March 2002 vol 381 cc74-5W
Mr. Lidington

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will give(a) the targets for 2010 and (b) the biennial interim targets for each sector of industry now taking part in a climate change agreement. [38612]

Mr. Meacher

The targets for 2010 and for the intervening milestone years are set out in each of the 44 sector agreements which have been placed in the Library of the House and are on the DEFRA website. The website also contains an explanatory document—Climate Change Agreements; Sectoral Energy Efficiency Targets.

The targets are expressed in different units in the different agreements. To aid understanding the attached table presents this information in terms of percentage energy saving over the base year for that sector. The differences in magnitude of the targets reflect the differences in scope for energy efficiency measures, taking into account savings already made, and a wide range of conditions in the sector.

1 Intermediate milestone targets are not yet determined.
2 The target for the Craft bakers and Supermarkets are in delivered energy terms.
3 The targets for the two poultry rearing agreements is the same in delivered energy terms so each facility is being treated equivalently.
However because of the different mix of fuels between the two groups, the primary energy sector targets are different.
4 The targets for the SEA agreement are in delivered energy terms. The 10.28 per cent. reduction in delivered specific energy consumption to 2010 is equivalent to 12.01 per cent. in primary energy.
