Figures published by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero show Avgas, which is the only leaded fuel for aircraft, represents less than 1% of total aviation fuel supply in the UK in 2022. Avgas is mostly an issue for small piston aircrafts and it does not impact commercial aircraft using Avtur (aviation turbine fuel).<\/p>

Air pollution has reduced significantly since 2010. Emissions of nitrogen oxides have fallen by 45 per cent and fine particulate matter PM2.5 by 10 per cent.<\/p>
<\/p>
The same regulated air pollution standards apply to hybrid vehicles as to conventional vehicles. Hybrid vehicles may have lower exhaust emissions while operating in electric mode. However, there is limited evidence regarding the difference in total emissions from hybrid vehicles versus non-hybrid equivalents. The National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory provides public information on the latest emissions factors for road vehicles, which is available online at: https://naei.beis.gov.uk/data/ef-transport<\/a>.<\/p>"}
