<p>The Government recognised that the changes to red diesel entitlements announced
at Budget 2020 would be a significant change for some businesses and ran a consultation
to gather information from affected users on the expected impact of these tax changes.
As part of this, the Government engaged directly with a wide variety of organisations
from all parts of the UK and carefully analysed all consultation responses received,
including from the British Metals Recycling Association.</p><p> </p><p>The metals
recycling sector is eligible for support through the £289 million Industrial Energy
Transformation Fund (IETF) and the £34 million Scottish IETF. These programmes provide
capital support to industrial sites, helping them to become more energy efficient
and to switch away from fossil fuels to lower carbon alternatives. We have recently
promoted this funding opportunity with the British Metals Recycling Association, welcoming
applications from sites impacted by the removal of the red diesel rebate.</p>
