Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) statistics: data tables
Data on the supply of renewable fuel, as required under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO).
Table RF_0103 revision note:
The ‘still in existence’ values for 2023 and 2024 were not accounting for the use of certificates carried over from the previous obligation year.
The incorrect calculation was:
- certificates still in existence = issued - revoked - redeemed
This has been corrected to:
- certificates still in existence = issued + carried over from previous year - revoked - redeemed
Also, the 2022 ‘still in existence’ value was corrected as those certificates have since been used. This results in the ‘redeemed’ values for 2022 also being adjusted to the correct value.
These values have been corrected in the following statistical tables:
- Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) statistics 2023: Final report
- Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) statistics 2024: Final report
- Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) statistics 2025: First provisional release
- Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) statistics 2025: Second provisional release
All values relating to the 2020 and 2021 obligation years in RF_0103 of the 2023 final report statistical tables and the 2021 obligation year values of the 2024 final report statistical tables were copied incorrectly into the tables but have now been updated to reflect the correct values.
The ‘still in existence’ value for the 2025 obligation year in the 2025 second provisional release has been corrected due to a small filtering error in the original production.
These statistics were previously called Renewable fuel statistics. The previous renewable fuel statistics can still be accessed from their original URLs. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) was reported within the RTFO statistics series up to and including the 2024 obligation year.
Following the introduction of the SAF Mandate on 1 January 2025, statistics on SAF supplied under the SAF Mandate are published separately in the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate statistics collection.
The tables include information on the:
- amount of UK road transport fuel from renewable and fossil fuel
- number of Renewable Transport Fuel Certificates (RTFCs) which have been issued to fuel meeting the sustainability requirements
- balance of RTFCs by obligation period
- trades of RTFCs between suppliers and traders
- carbon and sustainability characteristics of the renewable fuel to which RTFCs have been issued
- voluntary scheme data of renewable transport fuel
