As acknowledged and welcomed in the \u201cSustainable Aviation Fuels Road-Map\u201d, announced by the Sustainable Aviation coalition on 4 February, the Government is encouraging the production and use of sustainable alternative aviation fuels in the UK by making these eligible for reward under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO).<\/p>

The Department is considering the aviation industry\u2019s request to extend the scope of the RTFO to include Recycled Carbon Fuels (RCFs), which is repeated in the \u201cSustainable Aviation Fuels Road-Map\u201d. RCFs are fuels produced from fossil wastes that cannot be reused, recycled or avoided.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department has commissioned two independent research reports to examine the potential greenhouse gas savings that RCFs could achieve. These are \u201cLow carbon fossil fuels sustainability risks and accounting methodology\u201d published in January 2018 and \u201cWork Package 1-743 Waste Disposal Outcomes and Diversion Impacts\u201d published in August 2019. Further to this research, the Department is developing a greenhouse gas assessment methodology for RCFs and have engaged on this with industry representatives. The Department hopes to consult later this year on legislative proposals.<\/p>
