<p>Sustainable fuels already form an important part of our energy mix and are contributing
to the decarbonisation of the UK economy.</p><br /><p>During 2014 just under a fifth
of renewable electricity generation came from bioenergy; bioenergy also forms about
94% of our total renewable heat generation; and in transport the Renewable Transport
Fuel Obligation (RTFO) ensures that just under 5% of transport fuel comes from sustainable
biofuels.</p><br /><p>The 2011 Carbon Plan set out a range of scenarios for how the
UK could reduce emissions. This considered the role of renewable technologies under
the different scenarios. The Government is due to set out next year the level of the
fifth carbon budget, covering the years 2028-2032, and following this, a new emissions
reduction plan will be published.</p><br /> <br />
