Notice Title

Air Quality Impacts of Biofuels

Notice Description

The DfT operate a process to recognise new waste biofuel feedstocks that benefit from double counting. This means that two renewable transport fuel certificates are eligible per litre of fuel supplied. Economic operators look to find novel waste materials to convert into biofuel. The DfT are aware that some of this material has been contaminated with, or is at risk of being contaminated with, a number of potentially harmful compounds. This requirement aims to gain a greater understanding of contaminants entering biofuel production pathways.
