Statistics on the supply of renewable fuels, reported under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation for 2022, based on data available as of 29 March 2023.
This is the fourth of 4 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.
In the 2022 third provisional report, we stated our intention that from June 2023 we would produce and publish tables on a monthly or quarterly basis in lieu of quarterly reports, with a final written report each year in November. Alongside this, we ran a survey to collect feedback for this proposal which closed on 23 March 2023. We received strong support for this proposal and will therefore be enacting this change.
As a result of this change, the 2022 fifth provisional report will not be produced and published in report format, and instead only tables will be released on 9 August 2023. The provisional reports for 2023 will also not be produced and published in report format and will be published as tables only, with the first provisional tables for 2023 also to be released on 9 August 2023. Final reports for both reporting periods are due to be published in November 2023 and November 2024 respectively.
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
