Welcome to biofuelsday.co.uk

15th April 2008 marked 'Biofuels Day'. That was the date when all fuel companies in the UK became obliged to replace a certain percentage of their annual fossil fuel sales with biofuels, by law. As from that date, 2.5 per cent of fuel produced in the UK will have to come from renewable sources such as crops, as opposed to being made from oil taken from the ground or from under our oceans.

There will be no noticeable change for the average motorist, but you will know that part of the fuel you are putting in your car is better for the environment, because biofuels have a better 'carbon footprint' than ordinary fuels. While there are lots of other things you can do to improve the effect your driving has on the environment, this is one good thing that requires no action by you, and will cost you nothing.

On this website you can find out more information about biofuels including: how they are made, how they will affect you, the contribution they can make to the environment, and myths and truths about biofuels.

The UK biofuels industry is wholly committed to producing biofuels that will deliver significant reductions in the gases that cause climate change, and will not damage the environment in this country or any other countries that they are produced in.
