Supporting Recycled Carbon Fuels Through the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation

Book Description
In 2008/09, the first year of operation, the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) met its objective of driving a market for biofuels in the UK. 2.7% of the UK's total road transport fuel supply was biofuel which was slightly over the Government's target of 2.5% and is more than twice the supply of biofuel in 2007/08/. No obligated suppliers pad to 'buy-out' of their obligations. The performance of suppliers in sourcing sustainable fuels was polarised. Whilst several companies met all three of the Government sourcing targets with fully verified data a number also performed poorly. Overall a significant improvement will be required to meet the challenges of the forthcoming EU Renewable Energy Directive. In 2008/09 there was also a 46% carbon saving against the Government target of 40%. The biofuels market has not as yet had a large impact on agriculture in the UK and although an effective driver of the market for biofuel, the RTFO did not, during 2008/09, drive increases in the biofuel production capacity in the UK.

Book Description
This is the second year of operation of the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation and this report outlines the progress that is being made in encouraging the use of sustainable biofuels in the UK. It provides statistical evidence on an evolving market and highlights good practice as well as those areas where more work is needed. There is potential for biofuels to play a useful role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions without causing substanial environmental damage. However this is unlikely to be achieved without careful planning and regulation.

Book Description
As part of government’s overall commitment to improving regulation and to reducing the burdens it imposes, ministers committed to reviewing the effectiveness of the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) amendments by April 2014 in a Post Implementation Review (PIR). The scope of the review covers the extent to which the RTFO has achieved its objectives, to assess costs and benefits, and to identify any unintended consequences. In addition, the review is intended to consider how implementation and enforcement could be improved.

Book Description
This book focuses on low carbon fuels a preferable class of fuels for Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) highlighting the effect of low carbon fuels on tailpipe emissions. This book aims to strengthen the knowledge base dealing with low carbon fuels as a sustainable transport fuel. The volume includes recent results and are focused on current trends of automotive sector. This book will be of interest to those in academia and industry involved in fuels, IC engines, engine instrumentation, and environmental research.
Technical Assistance to Assess the Potential of Renewable Liquid and Gaseous Transport Fuels of Non-biological Origin (RFNBOs) as Well as Recycled Carbon Fuels (RCFs), to Establish a Methodology to Determine the Share of Renewable Energy from RFNBOs as Well as to Develop a Framework on Additionality in the Transport Sector

Book Description
This report analyses the provisions in the Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II) obliging the European Commission to develop a framework to cover additional electricity demand in the EU transport sector with additional renewable energy (RES-E) capacities (Article 27.3 (Art 27.3), subparagraph 3 of RED II). Even though future electricity demand in the EU transport sector is expected to grow significantly and related emissions may increase, the overall risk of electric mobility causing additional emissions in the power sector can be considered small. This is due to the relatively higher efficiency of electric vehicles (EVs) compared to fossil-based vehicles and the fact that EVs are on EU average already less CO2-intense than fossil-fueled vehicles. Hence, we find that there is no urgent need for additionality of renewable energy to cover electricity demand from the transport sector, especially compared with the case of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs). We therefore recommend the design of a voluntary framework on additionality that lets Member States opt to monitor and report additional electricity demand. The framework does not include obligations towards private individuals or economic operators. The report provides detailed guidance on determining the baseline, actual consumption, and projected consumption of electricity to establish such a voluntary framework.
