The Department publishes regular statistics covering the volume of biofuel reported under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation. This data includes feedstock and country of origin at:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/biofuels-statistics<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

The latest full year\u2019s verified data is in report 6 from obligation year 9 (2016/17). It shows that 1,541 million litres of renewable fuel was supplied, of which 49 per cent was bioethanol. This is a total of 758 million litres of bioethanol. Of this total amount, 218 million litres (29 percent) is produced from UK feedstocks, 429 million litres, (57 percent) is produced from feedstocks sourced from elsewhere in the EU, and 111 million litres (15 percent) is produced from feedstocks sourced from the rest of the world.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-09-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-09-14T10:42:45.317Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-09-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Biofuels"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of bio-ethanol fuel comes from sources in (a) the UK, (b) the EU and (c) the rest of the world.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/318", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Spellar"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Warley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "John Spellar"} ], "uin" : "172422"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/945609", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/945609/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The UK government has committed to work towards no food waste being sent to landfill by 2030 in its Clean Growth Strategy, published in October 2017. 113 local authorities out of 326 in England currently offer a separate food waste collection service and we encourage all local authorities to consider introducing separate food waste collection when opportunities arise to include these in collection contracts.<\/p>

<\/p>

In the 25 Year Environment Plan, we committed to working to support an increase in the number of councils with separate food waste collections. We will outline our plans for this in our Resources and Waste Strategy, which will be published this autumn. This will include how we will fulfil our commitments to the circular economy package where bio-waste including food waste recycling must be offered for households.<\/p>

<\/p>

We recognise the energy generation potential of food waste, when collected separately and sent to anaerobic digestion (AD), though we need to be conscious of some of the unintended consequences for air pollution that can arise.<\/p>

<\/p>

We will consider the recommendations of the 2018 National Infrastructure Assessment in the development of the Resources and Waste Strategy.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4161", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Gardiner of Kimble"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-08-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "HL9735"} , {"_value" : "HL9739"} , {"_value" : "HL9740"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-08-01T12:23:46.833Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Biofuels"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the recommendation of the National Infrastructure Commission that mandatory food waste collections should be introduced in England to support the production of biogas.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1531", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Featherstone"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Featherstone"} ], "uin" : "HL9738"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/894883", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/894883/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

In 2016 (the latest year for which data are available), the UK energy demand for biomass was 8,542 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe). Of this,<\/p>

a) 46 per cent (3,935 ktoe) was domestically sourced wood, and;<\/p>

b) 36 per cent (3,071 ktoe) was imported wood.<\/p>

A rapid increase in palm oil production in the last decade has acted as a driver of deforestation and land use change, contributing to increased carbon emissions. The EU is seeking to correct this by restricting the extent to which crop-based biofuels can count towards renewable energy targets.<\/p>

<\/p>

Palm oil has not been used in biofuel in the UK for several years and as such the Department has not made an assessment of the potential merits of the proposed EU restriction on use.<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK is committed to supporting sustainable trade for key commodities associated with deforestation, including palm oil. We are signatory to the Amsterdam Declarations, have endorsed the New York Declaration on Forests, and are a member of the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020. All of these initiatives support action to prevent deforestation and encourage the sustainable production of key commodities.<\/p>

In September we published \u201cThe Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations Order, Government response to the consultation on amendments\u201d. Appendices of Annex A of that Government response include details of the evidence and assumptions underpinning our analysis of the costs and benefits of the proposals. Table 30 in Appendix 3 includes estimates of waste-based biodiesel supply to 2020 and beyond.<\/p>

<\/p>

Biofuel statistics setting out the amount of biofuel by feedstock reported under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) are published on the Department for Transport pages of the gov.uk website. These statistics indicate that the volume of waste-based biodiesel supplied was as follows (a) 742 million litres in 2014-15, (b) 749 million litres in 2013-14, and (c) 461 million litres in 2012-13.<\/p>

Other officials at the Department are not required to keep a record of meetings attended and a comprehensive list of meetings with fuel suppliers and counterparts in other countries could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

Information on Concerted Action is available at https://www.ca-res.eu/index.php?id=2<\/a><\/p>
