Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department has taken to increase the use of carbon neutral fuel through captured C02.

In 2018 the Government amended the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation so that transport fuels made using waste CO₂ are eligible for reward, provided that sustainability and eligibility requirements are met. Those requirements include that all the input process energy used to make the fuel is from renewable sources, and that the fuel delivers significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the Department’s Future Fuels for Flight and Freight Competition (F4C) makes up to £20m of capital funding available to projects that will produce low carbon waste-based fuels for use in planes and lorries.

Projects capable of producing fuels using waste CO₂ were eligible to apply for F4C funding.
