6 Where we are now Strategic case for biomethane transport fuel Limited options to decarbonise HGVs Carbon Budgets 6 May 3, 2018

7 Where we are now Support for biomethane transport fuel Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) Duty incentive Advanced biofuels demonstration competition Amendments to General Circulation Directive (Weights and Dimensions) (transposition in train) Driving licence derogation 7 May 3, 2018

injected to the grid May be possible for gas producers

8 Where we are now Recent developments Increase in interest following guidance that DfT will reward gas injected to the grid May be possible for gas producers currently receiving RHI payments to switch to claim RTFCs 8 May 3, 2018

9 Where we re going Evidence-base for gas vehicles is mixed 9 May 3, 2018

10 Where we re going Our forthcoming zero emission road transport strategy We are aiming for almost every car and van on UK roads to be zero emission by 2050 and will end the sales of new conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans by Driving uptake of ultra low emission cars and vans Setting a pathway to reduce and remove emissions from HGVs Positioning the UK as the best place to manufacture ULEVs Government s view on the environmental performance of different fuels and powertrains Reducing emissions from 38m existing conventional vehicles Supporting the deployment of one of the best infrastructure networks in the world. Preparing the energy system for the transition and opportunities for a smart and flexible energy system Working closely with local authorities and Devolved Administrations to develop locally driven solutions OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL May 2015

gas use Committee on climate change bioenergy review - Autumn 2018.

12 Where we re going The model focusses on the fuel/vehicle options Insufficient availability of sustainable biofuels means 100% replacement across sectors is not realistic Additional gas demand for transport increases overall (fossil) gas use Committee on climate change bioenergy review - Autumn Heat options More vehicle testing EDIT THIS TEXT IN INSERT > HEADER / FOOTER.

13 Where we re going Gas HGVs marginally outperform 18t EURO VI diesel trucks on regional cycle

14 Where we re going But larger gas trucks are slightly worse than 44t EURO VI diesel trucks on long haul

16 Where we re going CNG buses perform worse than currently available efficient diesel buses

17 Where we re going Differences are even more pronounced on slower speed test cycles

18 Where we re going Work in progress OLEV currently supporting LEFT Two winning bidders will be carrying out testing of new vehicles using biogas 18 May 3, 2018

19 Key Messages Recognise potential GHG benefits of biomethane as a transport fuel. Wider issue around availability of biomethane and decarbonisation of heat challenge Further testing is ongoing Low Emission Freight Trial Policy likely to follow the evidence EDIT THIS TEXT IN INSERT > HEADER / FOOTER.
