Suppliers fail to satisfy UK biofuel sustainability measures

摘要

All is not rosy on the biofuel sustainability front. That is the message of the UK Renewable Fuels Agency (RFA)'s report on the impacts of the biofuel supplied in the first year of the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO).rnThe RTFO applies across the whole of the UK. Refiners, importers and any others who supply more than 450,000 litres of relevant hydrocarbon oil annually to the UK market are obligated by it.rnSeveral fossil fuel suppliers are shown by the report, released at the end of last month, to have failed to demonstrate the sustainability of their biofuels.
