A greenhouse gas-based fuel duty structure could encourage uptake of low carbon renewable fuels in hard-to-electrify transport application, says the Zemo Partnership.

The public-private zero emissions membership group has published a report exploring a pricing mechanism for a fuel duty discount and the potential GHG emission benefits of the use of high blend renewable fuels (HBRF) in heavy vehicles.

Heavy duty vehicles (HDV) and heavy non-road vehicles are applications for which the urgency to...
