uin	21997
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2024 answer text <p>The Government supports the use of renewable fuels in several ways. Regulations generate demand for them in the UK and provide a signal for future investments. The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) scheme continues to support renewable fuels, which are primarily deployed in road transport, and delivers a third of transport’s carbon savings under carbon budget 4. The Government will introduce a similar mandate scheme to drive the deployment of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in 2025. We also have a track record of supporting UK production of advanced renewable fuels through grant funding programmes. Most recently the Advanced Fuels Fund (AFF) has allocated over £135 million of capital funding to 13 projects to support the development of a UK SAF industry.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 22/04/2024 08:58:02 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne
