RFA Quarterly Report: 15 April - 14 July 2008

Oct 2008

To encourage suppliers to source sustainable biofuels, the RFA requires fuel suppliers claiming Renewable Transport Fuel Certificates to submit monthly reports on the lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) saving and the sustainability of the biofuels they supply.
Reporting is also seen by the Government as an essential 'stepping stone' towards a mandatory assurance scheme.
This Quarterly Report provides information on the carbon and sustainability performance of renewable fuels supplied under the RTFO. The data is derived from the monthly reports on biofuels provided by individual fuel suppliers. At the end of the reporting year fuel suppliers are required to provide an independent auditor's opinion on their information, and this verified information will be available in the RFA's annual report.
The carbon and sustainability data covers the direct impacts arising from biofuel cultivation that are potentially within the influence of companies sourcing or producing biofuels though effective supply chain management. The RFA will separately monitor the potential indirect impacts of biofuel production such as indirect land-use change or changes to food and other commodity prices.
