The new RTFO has been laid

Posted: 16 January, 2018. Written by Kiara Zennaro

Draft legislation proposing changes to the RTFO and GHG schemes, including to increase targets for the supply of renewable fuel, was laid in Parliament on 15th January 2018. When published it will be available on legislation.gov.uk. 

The next steps are for the draft statutory instrument to be debated and approved in each House. Subject to parliamentary debate and approval DfT expect to have the legislative changes proposed in place for the start of the next RTFO obligation year in April 2018, should the draft statutory instrument laid today fall we would not achieve that timeline. This legislation will be of considerable interest to those injecting biomethane. 

Come to the next REA Bio-energy meeting on 24th January to find out more about this topic.
