Envirbnmental Aud it Committee Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth Department for Business, Energy & Thank you for your letter dated 19 January 2022 on Green Jobs. As Minister for Energy, Clean Growth and Climate Change,,l welcome the Environmental Audit Committee's focus on green jobs and skills as the UK moves to a low carbon and high skill econoriry. I am also encouraged by the Committee's support for the Government's agenda on green jobs and skills, as set out in our world-leading Net Zero Strategy. The Government has announced its intention to establish the Green Jobs Delivery Group as the central forum for industry and government action to take fonryard our commitments in the Net Zero Strategy on green jobs and skills. I can confirm to the Committee that we intend to launch this group and publish its full terms of reference in Spring 2022. Ahead of the Delivery Group's inaugural session, it would not be appropriate for me to set out further details to the Committee. However, I would like to assure you that we are fully committed to ensuring join up across Government and industry on our green jobs and skills agenda. The Group will feature Ministerial representation from all Departments as required, and we are committed to exploring the role that the devolved administrations and local government can play to support this work, recognising that the delivery of net zero is a cross-cutting U K-wide challenge.

to function at the beginning of 2018 and present results as far as possible by the end of 2018. To support structural change, the commission will have to develop a mix of instruments that combines economic development, structural change, social compatibility and climate protection. This includes the necessary investments in the sectors and regions affected by the structural change, as well as their financing. • The Climate Action Plan contains a roadmap to achieve a nearly carbon neutral building stock. Essential is the successive development of energy standards for new and existing buildings undergoing extensive modernization. In addition, state support will focus on heating systems based on renewable energy. • A strategy for road transport will outline how greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced up to 2030, taking into account corresponding proposals at EU level. The strategy will include emissions from cars, light and heavy commercial vehicles and issues of energy supply free of greenhouse gases, the necessary infrastructure and the interconnection of sectors (through electromobility).
III. - The local authorities in charge of a public service for the distribution of heat or cold delimit, in accordance with chapter II of title I&quot; of book VII of the energy code, the priority development zones for classified heat and cold networks within which connection is mandatory. A Conseil d&#39;Etat decree defines the priority development zone which applies in the absence of such a decision.&quot; In order to achieve the national objective of no net artificialization of the soil by 2050, the rate of artificialization of the soil in the ten years following the promulgation of this law must be such that, over this period, the consumption total space observed on a national scale is less than half of that observed over the ten years preceding this date. These objectives are applied in a differentiated and territorialized manner, under the conditions set by law. Section 2 Other provisions Article 192
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from light fuel oil, an obligation to blend bioliquids with light fuel oil used for heating buildings was approved by Parliament in February 2019. According to the Act on the Promotion of the Use of Biofuel Oil, the proportion of biofuel oil in the light fuel oil used for heating and machinery must be at least 3 per cent in 2021 and increasing thereafter by one per cent per year to at least 10 per cent in 2028. However, it is intended to tighten the obligation to distribute biofuel oil, and the proposed changes will be presented by the Government in the autumn of 2022. According to the stricter obligation, the share of biofuel oil should increase annually by 4.6 per cent from 2025 until 2030, from which the share of biofuel oil in heating should be 30 per cent. The effects of promoting the use of bioliquids on greenhouse gas emissions in heating buildings have been calculated in accordance with the stricter obligation - assuming that from 2030, the share of bioliquids in light fuel oil will be 30 per cent.
These Regulations amend the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Regulations 2012 by, among other things: dates when aviation operators must submit specified data and penalties payable where an aviation operator or installation has annual reportable emissions which are not included in the verified report and where there is a failure to surrender sufficient allowances in relation to those unreported emissions must be paid.
Each area of the economy must make substantial changes in the next decade to get on the path to Net Zero emissions for the whole of the UK. The transition must not be delayed. • All sectors have multiple options to achieve a level of emissions reduction that is consistent with Net Zero by 2050. • Most sectors can achieve near-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 in different ways. For many sectors, the shape of the overall emissions trajectory that is required is similar even where very different options are deployed (for example the relative uptake of electrification compared to the use of low-carbon hydrogen in manufacturing).
Compared to 1990 levels, Estonia has managed to reduce its total greenhouse gas emissions by 55.3%. Pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol adopted in 1997, Estonia committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions from 2008 to 2012 (1 commitment period) by 8% compared to 1990 levels. At the 2012 UN climate change conference, the Parties adopted the Doha Amendment to the Kyoto Protocol, that stipulates emission reduction targets for the next period (2013-2020), committing Estonia, together with other EU Member States, to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 20%. In order to enter into force, the Doha Amendment must be ratified by 144 Parties to the Kyoto Protocol. Estonia finished the national ratification process of the Doha Amendment already in 2015 and has thus began working towards the emissions reduction target set for the 2nd commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. Estonia deposited the instruments of ratification on 21 December 2017 together with the EU
In the case of the production of electricity from renewable energies, with the exception of hydropower, an expansion should be aimed at that would bring the average domestic production to at least 4,400 GWh in 2020 and at least 11,400 GWh in 2035.

Wave 3 guidance June 2025 updates
The scheme guidance was updated to provide information on the transition from the RdSAP2012 to RdSAP10 methodology. This fund was previously known as the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund SHDF. See the list of Social Housing Landlords, including local authorities and housing associations awarded funding under the Warm Homes Social Housing Fund to be delivered 2025 until September 2028. Overview
The Warm Homes Social Housing Fund will upgrade a significant amount of the social housing stock currently below Energy Performance Certificate EPC band C up to that standard. It will support the installation of energy performance measures in social homes in England, and help
This wave builds on the allocations made under the previous waves of SHDF. The Warm Homes Social Housing Fund Wave 3 has been allocated 1.29 billion as part of the Autumn Budget. See a breakdown of the funding available. The application window closed on 25 November 2024. Successful Social Housing Landlords will use the funding to install energy performance upgrades and low carbon heating. Application routes
There were 2 routes to access funding under Wave 3
Further detail on both routes is available within the scheme guidance. Eligibility
Wave 3 was open to the following subject to exceptions
The above organisations, along with ALMOs that are not registered providers, could have applied as part of a consortium led by an organisation that was eligible. Exceptions
The Greater Manchester Combined Authority GMCA and the West Midlands Combined Authority WMCA and their constituent local authorities were not eligible for the scheme. GMCA and WMCA have received an allocation of funding as part of the governments commitment to the Warm Homes and Public Sector Decarbonisation Devolution Programme. To learn more about this please refer to the Integrated Settlement GOV.UK page. In most cases, housing associations whose projects include stock in GMCAWMCA and elsewhere in the country had to split the project and seek funding for each project from the appropriate funding stream GMCA, WMCA or WHSHF. We recognised that in a small number of circumstances, it may have been more appropriate for a housing association to obtain funding from a single source and those requests were on a case-by-case basis.
Properties
All existing social housing as defined by the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 sections 68 to 70, below  EPC  band C, regardless of archetype, were eligible for this scheme. Delivery timeline
Delivery for Warm Homes Social Housing Fund Wave 3 will run to September 2028. All grant funding for Wave 3 projects must be transferred to the grant recipient and spent by 31 March 2028, and projects can only use co-funding in the final 6 months of delivery. Help and support

This plan sets out the government’s commitments and the actions needed to decarbonise the UK's transport system. It defines a sectoral net zero pathway that combines 1) decarbonising efforts in all forms of transport, and 2) transversal measures such as a push for hydrogen and the unlocking of green finance. The plan calls for decarbonisation strategies that maximise health, economic and social co-benefits.
The policies and proposals for power in the Net Zero Strategy will... Fully decarbonise our power system by 2035 The net zero economy will be underpinned by cheap clean electricity, made in Britain. A clean, reliable power system is the foundation of a productive net zero economy as we electrify other sectors - so we will fully
This Order amends Part 1 of Schedule 8 to the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 as it applies to England. It inserts new paragraphs into Schedule 8 to provide for compensation to be paid for improvements resulting from the application to the land of soil improvers, digestate, manure and fertiliser (with no limitation as to how those substances were acquired); and for improvements resulting from manure which is held in storage and has arisen from the consumption of corn (produced on the holding or not) or other feedingstuff not produced on the holding by livestock and members of the horse family on the holding.
This publication provides the final estimates of UK territorial greenhouse gas emissions going back to 1990. Figures for all years since 1990 have been revised since the last publication to incorporate methodological improvements and new data, so the estimates presented here supersede previous ones. Estimates are presented by source in February of each year. They are updated
These statistics covers emissions that occur within the UKs borders. When emissions are reported by source, emissions are attributed to the sector that emits them directly. When emissions are reported by end-user, emissions from energy supply are reallocated in accordance with where the end-use of the energy occurred. This reallocation of emissions is based on a modelling process. For example, all the carbon dioxide produced by a power station is allocated to the power station when reporting on a source basis.
However, when applying the end-user method, these emissions are reallocated to the users of this electricity, such as domestic homes or large industrial users. DESNZ does not estimate emissions outside the UK associated with UK consumption, however the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs publishes estimates of the UKs carbon footprint annually. For the purposes of reporting, greenhouse gas emissions are allocated into a small number of broad, high-level sectors known as Territorial Emissions Statistics sectors, which are as follows electricity supply, fuel supply, domestic transport, buildings and product uses, industry, agriculture, waste, and land use land use change and forestry LULUCF. These high-level sectors are made up of a number of more detailed sectors, which follow the definitions set out by the International Panel on Climate Change IPCC, and which are used in international reporting tables which are submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC every year.
