Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to support the development and use of green methanol in the road haulage sector.
This question was answered on 18th May 2026
The supply of green methanol for use in road vehicles is eligible for support under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO). The RTFO, a certificate trading scheme, has been successful in supporting a UK market for renewable fuels since 2008. In 2024, 68 million litres of renewable methanol was reported as supplied under the RTFO scheme. This is equivalent to around 2% of renewable fuel supplied under the scheme.
