Total capital expenditure is prone to large year-on-year fluctuations as major projects are completed and funding to new projects begins. Large transport projects tend to require large sums of capital expenditure during construction, but deliver benefits for many years into the future. Consideration of this must be given when making year-on-year comparisons.<\/p>"}

The Road to Zero sets out the Government\u2019s long-term ambitions to clean up road transport, and the measures now in place to help industry and consumers to make the transition to electric vehicles. It was developed following extensive consultation with environmental groups, the automotive industry and academia.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government believes its ambition for at least half of new cars and as many as 70% to be ultra low emission by 2030 strikes the right balance between conflicting environmental, industrial and consumer priorities. However, the Government is actively tracking market developments and will review progress towards our ambitions by 2025.<\/p>"}

It includes details of the Real Driving Emissions legislation applying from September 2017, which limits vehicle emissions of both nitrogen oxides and particulates across a wide range of driving conditions.

Highways England have also been exploring and testing a range of measures and innovative products as part of their programme of air quality research. They have evidence that tall barriers can reduce concentrations of NO2 for the residents closest nearby, and they are progressing with work to see how these could be installed on the network.

The Transport Assessment accompanying the planning application provided information satisfying the criteria for a non-motorised user context report.<\/p>
A Review Report is required at the end of the preliminary design stage and before commencement of detailed design followed by a further Review Report at the end of the detailed design phase and before construction commences. The design team is now at the end of the preliminary design stage, but detailed design has not yet begun. A Review Report is now due and will be completed before the commencement of detailed design.<\/p>

In 2018 the Government amended the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation so that transport fuels made using waste CO2<\/sub> are eligible for reward, provided that sustainability and eligibility requirements are met. Those requirements include that all the input process energy used to make the fuel is from renewable sources, and that the fuel delivers significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the Department\u2019s Future Fuels for Flight and Freight Competition (F4C) makes up to £20m of capital funding available to projects that will produce low carbon waste-based fuels for use in planes and lorries.<\/p> <\/p>
Projects capable of producing fuels using waste CO2<\/sub> were eligible to apply for F4C funding.<\/p>"}
