<p>The Government recognises the potential carbon-reduction benefits of drop-in low
carbon fuels, such as sustainable hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). HVO is eligible
for Renewable Transport Fuel Certificates (RTFCs) under the Renewable Transport Fuel
Obligation (RTFO) and, where they are produced from waste, they are eligible to receive
twice the reward in certificates under the RTFO scheme.</p><p> </p><p>The Department
engages across government on how to ensure that appropriate incentives are in place
to encourage the production and use of low carbon fuels. Matters of taxation, including
fuel duty, remain the responsibility of the Treasury. The Government keeps all taxes
under review, and any changes are announced by the Chancellor at fiscal events.</p>
