Statistics on the supply of renewable fuels, reported under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation for 2021, based on data available as of 10 October 2022.
This is the final report for 2021 and therefore contains complete dataset for the year.
Changes to methodology
There has been a methodological change to the calculation of greenhouse gas savings and carbon intensity. These calculations now use a weighted average to more accurately reflect the effect of the overall fuel supply. As a consequence of this change in methodology, figures for greenhouse gas savings and carbon intensity for the period 2008 to 2021 have been revised. More detail, including the impact of these changes, can be found in an explanatory changes to methodology section in this report.
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 includes 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
