National Highways is conducting a research study to understand the level of microplastic pollution in road run-off from the strategic road network. In 2021, a Phase 1 literature review was completed and published on National Highway\u2019s website. The Phase 1 study was used to inform a Microplastics Phase 2 field monitoring programme (2022-2023), which was commissioned and carried out in partnership with the Environment Agency. National Highways will shortly be publishing the findings from Phase 2. National Highways also plans to do more expansive monitoring of microplastics to build upon the Phase 2 work in 2024-2025.<\/p>"}

National Highways, in collaboration with the Environment Agency, have recently undertaken further in-situ monitoring of a range of chemical determinands, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as part of its recent Phase 2 microplastic field monitoring programme on the strategic road network. The project was completed earlier this year (2023) and the report and findings will be published on National Highways\u2019 website shortly.<\/p>
The Department commissioned a 4-year research project in February 2021 to investigate the measurement techniques, materials properties and control parameters of brake and tyre wear emissions from road vehicles. The project will also assess differences in particulate emission from tyre and brake wear in electric vehicles compared to petrol/diesel vehicles.<\/p>"}

My Department has regular meetings with representatives from across the transport fuel sector where the government\u2019s 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>

As set out in the July 2021 Government response to the consultation \u201cTargeting Net Zero, next steps for the Renewable Transport Fuels\u201d, 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>"}

The assessment made in the Board of Trade\u2019s \u2018Embracing the Ocean\u2019 paper that maritime cargo volumes will treble by 2050 is drawn from the International Transport Forum (ITF) Discussion Paper, No. 2020/05 \u2018Changing Demand for Maritime Trade\u2019 (P. Cariou). That paper cites data from the ITF\u2019s Transport Outlook (2019), which investigates how socio-economic changes (population, GDP trade and transport policies) affect global transport demand, including for maritime.

The Government uses UK-level evidence rather than global-level evidence when analysing how UK shipping could contribute to meeting the UK\u2019s economy-wide net-zero target. DfT has produced forecasts of the freight traffic at UK ports, which cover the period to 2050, which have been published online. The UK port freight traffic forecasts were taken into account in the research commissioned by DfT which informed the Net Zero Strategy pathways for UK domestic and international shipping. Further details on the Net Zero Strategy pathways for UK domestic and international shipping can be found on pages 342 and 343 of the Net Zero strategy itself.<\/p>"}

The Jet Zero Strategy commits the aviation sector to achieving net zero UK aviation emissions by 2050 \u2013 or \u201cJet Zero\u201d - and sets out a clear framework for how the sector will decarbonise.

As with all sectors, there is a key role for Government, alongside industry, in helping to deliver the change to end carbon emissions.<\/p>
