Renewable fuel statistics 2020: Fifth provisional report
Supply of renewable fuels for January to December 2020.
Documents
Details
Statistics on the supply of renewable fuels, reported under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation for 2020, based on data available as of 18 June 2021.
There are 2 sets of data tables for this period. The first set of tables (RF_01) report the supply of renewable fuel to the UK under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO). The second set of tables (RF_02) report the supply of renewable fuel to the UK under the Motor Fuel Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reporting Regulations.
Though the 2 reporting mechanisms are similar, there is some variation in categorisation between the RTFO and FQD leading to small differences between the 2 tables. Readers are advised that the report is based on data in the RTFO tables, and that previous reports are based on past RTFO tables.
This is the fifth of 5 provisional reports for 2020 and therefore contains an incomplete dataset for the year. The final report is scheduled for publication in November 2021. We have incorporated changes to the report and tables as a result of changes to the legislation. Further information on these changes is available.
The report and accompanying tables includes 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
