The Department for Transport has recently released a report outlining statistics for the supply of renewable fuel to the UK in 2021. According to the report, 5.4% of fuel supplied to the UK mobile machinery market in 2021 was from renewable sources, down from 5.9% in 2020. These amounts fall short of the target set in the Renewable Energy Directive for the UK to have 10% of all fuel supplied as renewable by 2020. However, average greenhouse gas (GHG) savings in 2021 (83% when compared to fossil fuels) showed a steady increase from previous years, indicating an improvement in the sustainability of the renewable fuel supplied to the UK transport market.

The majority of this renewable energy comes from wind power; something the UK is becoming rather good at.

Reducing humanity’s reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Biofuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol represent more sustainable alternatives to their fossil fuel counterparts: petrol and diesel. Lifecycle analysis shows that biodiesel and bioethanol also on the whole have superior environmental performance when compared with fossil fuels in areas such as global warming, fossil depletion and ozone layer depletion1. Is this technology new? Of course not.

2020 has been a challenging year to say the least. However, while the world has experienced events such as threats of war, bush fires and a global pandemic among many others, Great Britain quietly passed a significant milestone last month. On 16th June 2020, Great Britain went more than two whole months without coal power with a total of 67-days, 22-hours and 55-minutes coal-free.
