  1. Transport Fuels from Waste Sustainability Live NEC Birmingham, 2nd April 2014 Rob Wakely Head of Low Carbon Fuels Department for Transport rob.wakely@dft.gsi.gov.uk www.gov.uk/dft

  2. Transport – an engine for growth • More than HS2 2013 Spending Round included: • £6bn this Parliament, £12bn next for road maintenance • Trebling funding for major road schemes, building 52 major road projects by 2020/21 • Backing industries of the future: committed to supporting ultra low emission vehicles: £500m to 2020 to stimulate innovation • £25m to put UK in the advanced biofuel race

  3. Why we need biofuels from waste Transport1 accounts for over a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions2 1 Including the UK’s share of international aviation and shipping. 2 Total UK greenhouse gas emissions by source sector, 2011. Non road transport includes rail and domestic aviation and shipping. Other: public, industrial processes, waste management, and land use, land use change and forestry. Due to rounding, percentages add to 101%. Source: National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI)

  4. Wastes can help avoid some of the downsides

  5. Policy framework: EU • Two European Directives that govern biofuel use in the UK: Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and Fuel Quality Directive (FQD) • The RED requires the UK, by 2020, to source 15% of its overall energy, and 10% of energy used in transport, from renewable sources • The FQD requires fuel suppliers to reduce the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions per unit energy (“GHG intensity”) of the fuel they supply by 6% by 2020

  6. Supplying biofuel and earning certificates Buying certificates from others who have supplied the fuel Policy framework: UK supplier obligation • Suppliers of over 450,000 litres of fossil fuel have to meet their obligation to supply 4.75% from renewable sources • They can do this by: Paying the ‘buy-out’ price

  7. Waste materials ‘double count’ • Introduced December 2011 • Waste based fuels ~50% of the obligation • ‘Positive list’ and application process

  8. Delivering greenhouse gas savings

  9. . . . using less crops, more waste

  10. Challenge of traceability . . . • Chain of custody required to the origin • We have seen good evidence through the whole supply chain, from the point of origin to the biofuel plant Restaurant records & audit UCO collector records & audit Aggregator Records & audit Producer Records & audit Fuel supplier

  11. . . . in a global business

  12. Investing in Advanced fuels Advanced biofuels demonstration plants in the EU – but none in the UK… Biofuels industry gets £25 million “There are real opportunities for the UK to take a technological lead, driving growth, creating highly skilled jobs and seeing energy, security and environmental benefits.” Norman Baker MP, August 2013

  13. Investing in Advanced fuels • £25m advanced biofuel demonstration competition • To support development of at least one UK plant from 2015-18 • Launch in spring, expressions of interest to summer, then formal bids to be assessed at year end and contracts awarded spring 2015 • Call for evidence on other means to encourage UK advanced biofuels – policy mechanisms, transport sectors New green fuels in the spotlight “. .it’s crucial we develop sustainable low-carbon fuels so that we can keep Britain moving while meeting our emissions targets. Britain has a wealth of expertise in this field . .. We are asking for evidence on what this high-tech sector can do to decarbonise transport and create new, green jobs.” Baroness Kramer, 12 December 2013 https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-green-fuels-in-the-spotlight

  14. Summary • We need waste derived biofuels • Advanced fuels: demonstration competition and call for evidence • Future sectors: Aviation, HGVs
