<p>The Government has committed to end the sale of new, non-zero emission HGVs, less
than or equal to 26 tonnes from 2035, and all new HGVs must be fully zero emission
at the exhaust from 2040. During the transition, low carbon fuels have a significant
role to play and currently provide a third of greenhouse gas savings in the domestic
transport sector. They remain essential in reducing emissions from existing vehicles
through blending them with traditional fossil petrol and diesel through grades such
as E10 and B7. As the road vehicle fleet transitions to electric vehicles, production
capacity of low carbon fuels will shift to transport modes, which are harder to decarbonise,
like aviation and maritime. The Low Carbon Fuel Strategy, which the Department intends
to publish later this year, will set out possible scenarios for the deployment of
low carbon fuels across transport sectors out to 2050.</p>
