Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the forthcoming low carbon fuels strategy will cover all transport modes used by the logistics sector.

The Department’s forthcoming Low Carbon Fuel Strategy will cover all transport modes used by the logistics sector.

The Government supports the production of low carbon fuels through the Renewable Trade Fuel Obligation (RTFO), which reduces the cost of low carbon fuels in the long term. The Government published a cost benefit analysis for the RTFO in 2021,but has not undertaken a formal assessment of the impact of cost of different fuel types or the level of usage including for logistics businesses.
