The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will encourage sustainable aviation fuel developers to additionally produce biopropane.

Answered by Mike Kane

Biopropane is a low carbon alternative to liquid petroleum gas and is suitable for use in road vehicles and non-road mobile machinery, such as forklift trucks. Biopropane is eligible for support under the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) where it meets sustainability criteria and is for a relevant end use. This could include biopropane where it is a co-product of a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) developer’s production process.
