<p>My Department has regular meetings with representatives from across the transport
fuel sector where the government’s policy approach for recycled carbon fuel (RCF)
is discussed. The policy on supporting and assessing RCFs has also been the subject
of two public consultations, the first in spring 2021 followed by a second on detailed
proposals last summer.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in the July 2021 Government response
to the consultation “Targeting Net Zero, next steps for the Renewable Transport Fuels”,
RCFs supplied in transport will need to meet existing petrol and diesel fuel standards.
This will ensure the air quality emissions standards of RCFs will not fall below those
of the fossil fuels they replace. The Department understands that the direct use of
RCF derived pyrolysis oils can increase air pollutants, but these fuels will not be
supported under the proposals to support RCFs.</p>
