(asked on 22nd May 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to promote UK-sourced renewable fuels in public transport.
This question was answered on 4th June 2025
The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) supports the use of low carbon alternatives to petrol and diesel in surface transport and covers relevant public transport modes such as buses and diesel trains.
The market for renewable fuels is competitive and global. The RTFO scheme allows suppliers to fully embrace the global market by supporting renewable fuels produced from UK feedstocks and also those from outside the UK to minimise the costs passed on to end users of fuel.
