We will introduce support for recycled carbon fuels under the renewable transport fuel obligation (RTFO).
Our response outlines the technical aspects of how this will be implemented, including:
- a principles-based framework for assessing the eligibility of new recycled carbon fuel (RCF) feedstocks
- a reward rate of 1 renewable transport fuel certificate (dRTFC) per litre of RCF supplied under the RTFO
- a tailored greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions methodology
- a GHG emission savings threshold
- reporting and verification requirements, including additional sustainability criteria
Draft guidance for recycled carbon fuels has also been published.
