The Department for Transport has announced a consultation on the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO), and how it will operate. Under the RTFO the Government aims for 5% of all the fuel sold on UK forecourts to come from a renewable source – primarily biofuels - by 2010 and 3.75% by 2009.
The DfT press release says that the consultation seeks views on:
* The detailed design of the scheme and which suppliers will be affected;
* How suppliers of renewable fuel would report on the carbon savings and
wider impacts of those fuels;
* How the RTFO might develop after 2010/11.
A summary of responses will be published on the DfT website following the end of the consultation for which
the deadline is 17 May.
