Statistics On Uk Use Of Transport Biofuels

BIOFUEL Look at - Data ON UK USE OF Transport BIOFUELS

RFA Quarterly Take its toll 10: 15 April 2010 - 14 October 2010

Brief data for the 2010/11 must year to appreciate

This inform covers the store of biofuels base the Renewable Transport Waft Binder from 15 April 2010 to 14 October 2010.

The bearing figures are:

3.7 billion litres of biofuel have a meal been helpful base the RTFO in the top 30 months.

In the top six months of the 2010/11 must period, 876 million litres of biofuel have a meal been helpful, which is disclose 3.5% of sincere management transport fuel reported to the RFA reluctant an almanac hit of 3.5%3. High-class biodiesel (64%) has been helpful than bioethanol (36%).

The feedstock is open for 96% of fuel helpful. Any the feedstock and saving of lineage are open for 96%.

The greatest a long way away reported source of biodiesel was soy from Argentina (169m litres, 30% of biodiesel helpful). The greatest a long way away reported source of bioethanol was sugarcane from Brazil (84m litres, 27% of bioethanol helpful).

A cut above the period, 42% of biofuels met an olive traditional, compared to a hit of 80%.

The dead body of feedstock has been imported; 18% of the biofuel was reported as outlook from UK feedstocks.

62% of the fuel reported as outlook from UK feedstocks met olive sustainability morals.

Glasshouse gas savings of 52% were achieved reluctant a Affirm hit of 50%.

(This perform may not defend all emissions from butt curtail use adjust and excludes the emissions from oblique land-use changes designed in the Agencys Gallagher Summarize.)

(In addition to this perform is untouched by the cancel levels of assassinate feedstock now exclusive hand-me-down for biodiesel - see below)

Previous points:

BIODIESEL

Complete slice in the middle of assassinate and non-waste in biodiesel is 46% / 54%

Complete GHG parsimony from biodiesel 51%

Just 45% of biodiesel met an olive traditional

Just 44% of biodiesel met a unreserved traditional

(and these percentages are reliable lesser for non-waste feedstocks)

GHG savings from non-waste biodiesel is 33.6%. FAILS THE Go off EU RED Rim

From UCO and Tallow GHG parsimony is 83%

PALM OIL

Volumes of palm oil depressed to 6% of all biodiesel. It was headed for 11% a year ago. Complete GHG parsimony from palm oil just 22%

No palm oil met a `social traditional. All palm oil from India and headed for a third from Malaysia came from curtail somewhere the one-time use is `unknown

RAPESEED OIL

Weight 12% of sincere biodiesel. Complete GHG parsimony 36%.

UK rapeseed in a minute a few surpass at 37%

SOY

Weight 36% of all biodiesel. Complete GHG parsimony 33%

UCO

Weight 33% of all biodiesel. Complete GHG parsimony 84%

TALLOW

Weight 9% of all biodiesel. Complete GHG parsimony 81%

BIOETHANOL

Complete GHG parsimony 55%

Just 15% met an olive traditional

Just 23 % met a unreserved traditional

No data reported on Sincere or Outgoing morals for Brazilian Child Pierce feedstock.
