Implementation of the transport elements of the Renewable Energy Directive
Consultation about the EU directive which requires that 10% of energy used in UK transport should come from renewable sources by 2020.
Detail
The Renewable Energy Directive (RED) requires the UK to ensure that 10% of the energy used in transport is from renewable sources in 2020, as well as requiring the introduction of mandatory sustainability criteria for biofuels. This consultation seeks views on proposed amendments to the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) scheme in order to implement the RED and changes that aim to improve administration of the scheme.
