Bio-Power Fuels (EDM1689)

Bio-Power Fuels

EDM number 1689 in 2003-04, proposed by Paul Keetch on 11/10/2004.

That this House notes the need to encourage the use of bio-fuels as a means to address the environment threats of global warming and climate change and that the use of used cooking oil is important in the establishment of a viable bio-fuels industry in the UK; expresses its regret that when the animal feed ban becomes effective most of this valuable resource is likely to be exported to other EU coun tries; further notes with concern that the Environment Agency has not made sufficient use of its discretionary powers in regulating the activities of bio-fuel makers with respect to the Waste Management Regulations, particularly towards members of Bio-Power (UK) and that this will hinder its development; calls on the Environment Agency immediately to withdraw any enforcement action and threats of enforcement action against Bio-Power members and instead work with Bio-Power to develop a risk based regulatory regime for the processing of used cooking oil into a bio-fuel that meets any legitimate concerns of environment protection with the lightest regulatory touch; and calls for a comprehensive review of the waste regulations and the application to ensure that they meet their goal of protecting the environment without undermining sustainable development.

This motion has been signed by a total of 58 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
