▤ Verbatim text from source document
Consultation seeking views on proposed changes to motor fuel greenhouse gas reporting regulations.
The changes suggest:
- creation of a certificate trading scheme to reduce the greenhouse gas emission levels of transport fuels
- allowing suppliers to capture credits from reductions in upstream emissions associated with fossil fuel extraction and production
- improving the transparency of the UK oil supply chain
The proposals are intended to increase the sustainability of transport fuels in order to meet national and international climate change commitments.
We are also consulting on changes to the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation.
