The reform of red diesel entitlement affects our customers who supply or use rebated gas oil (red diesel) and rebated biofuels. Subsequent restrictions to red diesel and rebated biofuels are expected to take place from April 2022. The reformative measures extend fuel duty to biodiesel, bioblends and fuel substitutes used in heating. However, the rebated duty rate will apply to non-commercial heating and the full rate to commercial heating. Penalties for flouting restrictions of rebated fuels are expected. For example, secondary legislation could enable HMRC to seize vehicles or other machinery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Take note:<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>

Registered fuel suppliers, beware! If you switch a fuel tank from red to white diesel, you will need to flush out the tank and supply lines until no trace of marked rebated fuel remains. Doing so will help ensure that you and\/or your business is compliant with the new legislation. It will also minimise the risk that white diesel \u2013 that has had the full duty rate paid on it \u2013 is not contaminated by red diesel marker.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

With air pollution being one of the bigger continual threats to public health, the UK government had to act. Eager to shift the tide, they launched an ambitious new strategy to go green and save lives. In doing so, the UK became the world's first major economy to pass laws guaranteeing an end to its contribution to global warming by 2050. Under the new target, the UK aims to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Previously, the UK had aimed for a minimum 80% reduction compared to the levels found in 1990.\u202f<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
