Future of the renewable fuels provisional reports

From June 2023, we are intending to produce and publish tables on a monthly or quarterly basis in lieu of quarterly reports, with a final written report each year in November. As a result of these proposed changes, the provisional reports of 2023 would not be published, and instead we would provide tables only from this point onward. We have created a survey to collect feedback on this proposal, which will start running on 9 February 2023 along with the next provisional release for 2022, and will run until 23 March 2023.

Statistics on the supply of renewable fuels, reported under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation for 2022, based on data available as of 3 January 2023.

This is the third of 5 provisional reports for 2022 and therefore contains an incomplete dataset for the year. The final report is scheduled for publication in November 2023. We have incorporated changes to the report and tables as a result of changes to the legislation. Further information on these changes is available.

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.
