Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make a comparative assessment of the merits of the UK’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation and that deployed in the Republic of Ireland.
Biofuel suppliers operate in a global market and the Department considers changes to the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation (RTFO) accordingly, in the context of many support schemes offered worldwide. As the administrator of the RTFO, the Department also participates in the Renewable Fuels Regulators Club, which includes counterparts in the Republic of Ireland, and facilitates the sharing of best practice.
