To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when he will publish the results of his Department’s study to measure pollutant emissions from burning solid fuels in a range of domestic appliances under real-world conditions.

The project is currently expected to run until August 2023, after which a project report will be published. The Emissions Factors for Domestic Combustion project aims to develop our understanding of real-word emissions from solid fuel burning in domestic stoves. It is likely that this information and the results of other improvement projects will feed into the formal inventory in future years. The methodologies used to compile the formal inventory follow (or go beyond) the international guidance specified in the latest EMEP/EEA Guidebook. We publish the methods we use in the Informative Inventory Report and methods document ('Methods and quality processes for UK air pollutant emissions statistics') on an annual basis.
