UK trade associations team up on bio-heat liquid fuels strategy

In the UK, trade associations OFTEC, the Tank Storage Association (TSA) and the UK and Ireland Fuel Distributors Association (UKIFDA) have kicked off 2020 with the launch of a future vision for liquid fuels ‘Supply Chain Strategy for Liquid Fuels’, which details the steps to be taken toward a transition to 100% biofuel to replace heating oil in 1.5m homes across the UK and 686,000 homes across Ireland.

The three Trade Associations will be joined by other trade bodies and industry representatives in a new ‘Taskforce for Liquid Biofuels’, which will use the policy proposals contained in this future vision document to support a transformational effect on the UK’s off grid heating market and enable Government to maintain a technology-neutral approach, as well as encourage all industries to find solutions.
