Context
The MP references a brewery, Asahi, based in his constituency which has significantly reduced its carbon footprint through investment in renewable energy. The company's Cornish Orchards brand recently achieved a 94% reduction in emissions.
What steps are being taken by the Department to support breweries like Woking-based Asahi to reduce carbon emissions further? Does the Minister agree that this kind of innovation is crucial for decarbonisation?
I commend Asahi, an important employer in Woking, for its work on decarbonisation. The Department is working on a forthcoming carbon budget and growth delivery plan as well as a refreshed industrial decarbonisation strategy to provide further clarity and support for businesses like breweries.
