This statutory instrument amends The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation Order 2007 (SI2007/3072) and aims to increase the supply of renewable transport fuels.

It will help to improve flexibility when determining the eligibility of hydrogen and other renewable fuels of non-biological origin when produced from renewable energy.

It will also encourage the efficient use of biomethane as a transport fuel and the development of carbon capture and storage technology.

The statutory instrument is published in accordance with the procedure required by schedule 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and agreed with Parliament.
