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
