<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&data=05%7C01%7CWendy.Jarman%40dft.gov.uk%7Caa0ae499bc4544e360bb08dad7ac4857%7C28b782fb41e148eabfc3ad7558ce7136%7C0%7C0%7C638059432198396357%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=BBoj6xNIqytAhDCbpU86%2BAwdKCeDCFKWIhM5mkTfe1k%3D&reserved=0"
