Consideration will be given to what role they could have in the UK’s Net Zero Strategy and the British Energy Security Strategy, where they currently do not feature. The committee will also consider the barriers to deployment, economic impact, and environmental impact of these technologies. Read the call for evidence for more information about this inquiry.
