We received 7 responses and these did not raise any significant issues with government’s proposed approach. The government response to this consultation therefore confirms the decision to implement the preferred approach as set out in the consultation document.

Consultation description

This consultation seeks views from interested parties across the UK on implementing the European Union’s new sustainability requirements for bioliquids used for electricity generation under the Renewables Obligations for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
