Motor Sports: Alternative Fuels
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of the potential future domestic application of the Advanced sustainable fuel technology being used in Formula 1.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Government recognises the contribution that advanced sustainable fuels make. Such fuels must deliver significant carbon savings and meet stringent sustainability criteria. Where they meet criteria, advanced sustainable fuels are eligible for support through either the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation or the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Mandate.
The Secretary of State will soon be meeting the President and CEO of Formula 1 to learn more about Formula 1’s fuels programme and any potential wider application of that technology alongside electrification in the Government’s strategy to decarbonise transport.
