3. HVO could be supported in the government’s Energy Bill
An Energy Bill currently going through Parliament could be amended to create a Renewable Liquid Heating Fuel Obligation (RLHFO), to mirror for home heating the current incentive scheme in place for HVO in transport, which would greatly reduce the cost of HVO for oil heating users.
George Eustice MP, and a growing number of other rural MPs, are supporting this policy approach.
We’re also calling for the Treasury to align the fuel duty rate of HVO for heating with that of kerosene, as this too would help to make HVO an affordable heating option.
