BEIS Select Committee chair Darren Jones has outlined his concerns around a “chronology crunch” in the race to Net Zero.
Taking in the huge strides being made on the Humber, the Labour MP for Bristol North West, told of his fears that policy and strategy from Westminster is not being matched by public investment elsewhere - leading to a lag as legislation inevitably forces markets rather than incentives leading them.
Mr Jones met the Humber Zero team, toured Orsted’’s East Coast Hub and visited both North Lindsey College in Scunthorpe and Hull’s Centre for Digital Innovation on a factfinding mission - citing several exemplar elements he believes should be rolled out in other clusters.
