The European Renewable Fuels Agency (RFA) published its first monthly report on biofuels under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) which showed that less than one-fifth of the biofuel used on UK roads meets government standards intended to safeguard human rights and guarantee carbon savings.
Biofuels accounted for 2.14% of UK road fuel against the 2.5% target for the year. The market has been dominated by imports, with American soy being reported as the top feedstock used for biodiesel at 22%.
