question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to increase the supply of hydrogenated vegetable oil in the UK.
tabling member constituency	Newport East
tabling member printed	Jessica Morden
uin	99779
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2022 answer text <p>The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) is the Government’s primary mechanism for supporting the supply of renewable fuels such as hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO). While the RTFO does not incentivise specific fuels, fuels produced from wastes receive additional support under the scheme, this includes HVO produced from waste feedstocks. More information on how the RTFO encourages the supply of low carbon fuels, such as HVO, can be found at: <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fguidance%2Frenewable-transport-fuels-obligation&amp;data=05%7C01%7CWendy.Jarman%40dft.gov.uk%7Ca9572d28ac77468db21e08dad9345049%7C28b782fb41e148eabfc3ad7558ce7136%7C0%7C0%7C638061115943265856%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=QzYxOl3gSJQINZ0R1S8W3c8t5%2B4H6JWLWnDcYYT39IM%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/renewable-transport-fuels-obligation</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 08/12/2022 15:59:02 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the annual average greenhouse gas emissions from (a) hydrogenated vegetable oil and (b) diesel.
tabling member constituency	Newport East
tabling member printed	Jessica Morden
uin	99776
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2022 answer text <p>Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), like other renewable fuels, is eligible for support under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO). The RTFO is a certificate trading scheme that requires large suppliers of transport fuel to ensure a percentage of the total fuel they supply is from renewable sources. The RTFO further incentivises HVO produced from waste feedstocks, such as tallow or used cooking oil, by awarding double the renewable transport fuel certificates (RTFCs) compared to crop derived fuels.</p><p> </p><p>Like all low carbon fuels supported under the RTFO, the Department regularly reports on the carbon savings achieved from HVO. In 2021, HVO provided an average 89% carbon reduction compared to a fossil fuel comparator. Full statistical reports are published quarterly on the gov.uk website: <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fcollections%2Frenewable-fuel-statistics&amp;data=05%7C01%7CWendy.Jarman%40dft.gov.uk%7Caa0ae499bc4544e360bb08dad7ac4857%7C28b782fb41e148eabfc3ad7558ce7136%7C0%7C0%7C638059432198396357%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=BBoj6xNIqytAhDCbpU86%2BAwdKCeDCFKWIhM5mkTfe1k%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/renewable-fuel-statistics</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 07/12/2022 11:58:36 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
