Recommendation
DESNZ should set out a clear cross-sector prioritisation framework within the Seventh Carbon Budget Delivery Plan, explaining how limited low- carbon resources, including clean electricity, network capacity, sustainable feedstocks and land, will be allocated between competing demands. This framework should set out how priorities will be managed where policies across sectors draw on the same constrained resources, and how trade-offs will be handled to ensure that progress in one part of the economy does not displace or constrain decarbonisation elsewhere. (Recommendation, Paragraph 58)
