The RTFO Unit in the Department for Transport operates the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) which supports the market for sustainable biofuel by means of a certificate trading scheme. The Department is also supporting the commercialisation of advanced biofuels by grant funding through the Advanced Biofuel Demonstration Competition. Departmental funding includes budgets for policy development, analysis and research into low carbon fuels, including (but not limited to) biofuels.<\/p>
