I have today (20 July 2022) published the draft statutory instrument (SI) 皇冠体育app Renewable Transport Fuels Obligations (Amendment) Order 2022 and accompanying explanatory memorandum.

Renewable transport fuels already make a substantial contribution towards meeting UK carbon budgets and will continue to play an important role in meeting the UK鈥檚 increasingly ambitious future carbon reduction targets.

In 2019, the use of renewable fuel supplied under the RTFO saved approximately 5.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to taking 2.5 million cars off the road.

This statutory instrument amends 皇冠体育app Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation Order 2007 (SI2007/3072).

皇冠体育app statutory instrument will help further increase the supply of renewable transport fuels by increasing the flexibility when determining the eligibility of hydrogen and other renewable fuels of non-biological origin when produced from renewable energy.

It also encourages the efficient use of biomethane as a transport fuel and the development of carbon capture and storage technology.

皇冠体育app statutory instrument is published in accordance with the procedure required by schedule 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and agreed with Parliament. This is because it includes amendments to 皇冠体育app Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations Order 2007, parts of which were previously amended by SIs made under section 2 (2) of the European Communities Act 1972.

皇冠体育app statutory instrument is being published in draft at least 28 days before being laid for affirmative debate.

皇冠体育app department consulted on these proposals between March and April 2021 in the paper 鈥楾argeting net zero 颅Next steps for the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation鈥�. 皇冠体育app government response to that consultation and associated cost benefit analysis are available on GOV.UK.
