Documents

Details

Statistics on the supply of renewable fuels, reported under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation for 2023, based on data available as of 2 May 2024.

This is the fourth of 5 provisional reports for 2023 and therefore contains an incomplete dataset for the year. The fifth provisional is scheduled for publication in August, and then the sixth and final release in November. We have incorporated changes to the report and tables as a result of changes to the legislation. Further information on these changes is available.

Following user feedback, provisional releases are no longer produced and published in report format and are published as tables only. The final report and tables for the 2023 reporting period is due to be published in November 2024.

The report and accompanying tables include information on the:

  • amount of UK road transport fuel from renewable and fossil fuel

  • number of Renewable Transport Fuel Certificates (RTFCs) which have been issued to fuel meeting the sustainability requirements

  • balance of RTFCs by obligation period

  • trades of RTFCs between suppliers and traders

  • carbon and sustainability characteristics of the renewable fuel to which RTFCs have been issued

  • voluntary scheme data of renewable transport fuel

For more details, see the notes and definitions.
