Abstract

These Regulations make various amendments in relation to the implementation of Council Directive (EU) 2015/652 and the changes made to Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC by Directive 2015/1513/EU. They amend the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations Order 2007 and the Motor Fuel (Road Vehicle and Mobile Machinery) Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Regulations 2012. The amendments concern, among other things, the obligation of suppliers to produce evidence that they have reduced or offset amounts of greenhouse gas, other evidence of information required in relation with GHG emissions, calculation of the number of credits that may be issued to a supplier, applications for credits, the issue of credits, transfers of credits, revocation of credits and the payment that must be made in certain circumstances if a supplier fails to discharge a GHG reduction obligation, and maximum amount of renewable transport fuel derived from relevant crops which may count towards suppliers meeting their obligations in a particular period.
