The Department for Transport (DfT) is consulting on changes to motor fuel greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting regulations and the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation Order (RTFO).
Changes to the regulations include: the introduction of a certificate trading scheme to reduce transport fuel emissions; and allowing suppliers to capture credits from reductions in upstream emissions associated with fossil fuel extraction and production.
Proposed changes to the RTFO focus on increasing the obligation level, the appropriate level for the contribution of renewable fuels created from agricultural crops, and greater use of advanced renewable fuels.
The consultations end on 22 Jan 2017.
