Government to adopt ‘cautious’ approach to biofuels

The government is to take a more cautious approach to biofuels and has published a consultation that includes new proposals. untitled12

As part of the consultation, transport minister Andrew Adonis has proposed that the deadline for the five per cent Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) target be extended by two years to 2013-14.

Mr Adonis notes that the government is keen to adopt the advice of Professor Ed Gallagher’s review that the approach to biofuels be amended to ensure that it is sustainable.

He said: “We have accepted his recommendation to amend but not abandon our approach.

“We need to take a more cautious approach to biofuels and today’s consultation sets out our options, as well as dedicating a further £6 million to helping ensure that second generation biofuels are truly sustainable.”

Two new biofuels have also been added to the list of those eligible for commercial coach and limousine hire cars to use under the RTFO – biobutanol and hydrogenated renewable diesel.
