UK’s Renewable Fuels Assurance Scheme expands and will enter Ireland in December

In the UK, Zemo Partnership’s Renewable Fuels Assurance Scheme continues to expand, with 26 fuel suppliers now fully approved under the scheme, representing over 90% of the companies supplying bulk renewable fuels to heavy-duty vehicle and off-highway markets in the UK.

Meanwhile, Zemo is excited to announce that the RFAS is expanding to other regions, and will be introduced in the Republic of Ireland next month.  Ireland’s National Oil Reserves Agency (NORA) has its own RTFO scheme to encourage the supply of sustainable low carbon fuels. Ireland’s RTFO has set an E10 (gasoline with 10% bioethanol blend) and B20 (diesel with 20% biodiesel/HVO blend) target to be met by 2030. One of three certificate types (Red, Orange, and Green) is awarded to renewable fuels that satisfy the sustainability and GHG savings criteria, depending on the feedstock used to produce the fuels. Zemo is engaging with biomethane and HVO suppliers in the Republic of Ireland regarding joining the RFAS.
