The Department for Transport and Renewable Fuels Agency has announced the reappointment of Professor Ed Gallagher as Chairman of the Board of the Renewable Fuels Agency (RFA) and the reappointment of Gareth Llewellyn and Greg Archer, the LowCVP Managing Director, as members of the RFA's board.
The reappointments to the board will allow the agency to continue to exercise its powers until its functions are transferred to the Department for Transport, as recently announced as part of the reform of public bodies.
Professor Gallagher's reappointment is initially until 28 October 2011. Gareth Llewellyn and Greg Archer are initially reappointed until 4 November 2011, although it is expected that the RFA functions will be subsumed into the DfT earlier than this.
The RFA is a Non-Departmental Public Body established under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations Order 2007 to help the UK achieve its renewable transport fuel targets in a sustainable manner. It runs the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO), the primary mechanism in the UK for promoting biofuels and a world-leading carbon and sustainability reporting system. The RFA also reports to the UK Parliament and the public on the impacts of fuel supplied under the RTFO.
