(DFT) Renewable Fuels Agency starts up
A new Agency to manage Britain's commitment to biofuels was established today by Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly. The Renewable Fuels Agency will be responsible for the day to day running of the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation, coming into force in April next year. By 2010, the Obligation will mean that 5% of all the fuels sold in the UK should come from biofuels, which could save 2.6m to 3m tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. The Chairman of the Agency will be Professor Ed Gallagher, former Chief Executive of the Environment Agency. Joining Professor Gallagher on the Board of the Agency are:
Greg Archer, Director of the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership,
Paul Jefferiss, Director of Environmental Policy at BP,
Gareth Llewellyn, Director for Safety, Health, Environment and Corporate Responsibility for the National Grid
Brian White, Director of a biofuel trading company, BionerG Ltd.
