Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation (RTFO)

Source: JOIN IEA/IRENA Policy and Measures Database
Last updated: 30 July 2015

In November 2005 the Government announced it would introduce a Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) - a long term mechanism requiring transport fuel suppliers to ensure a set percentage of their sales are from a renewable source. The Obligation also requires suppliers to publicly report on the carbon savings and sustainable production of biofuels supplied. Non-complying suppliers will pay a penalty.

Backed by tradable offset certificates - Renewable Transport Fuel Certificates (RTFCs), the Obligation programm aligns with the EU Directive 2003/30/EC on the promotion of biofuels and renewable fuels for transport.
