When the government announces its response to its Low Carbon Fuels Strategy consultation later this year, it must grasp an historic opportunity to make the UK a world leader in low-carbon fuels.
To achieve this, government must allow all kinds of low-carbon fuels to compete to achieve the most efficient path to net zero, rather than put all its eggs in one basket with electric vehicles (EVs). EVs won’t be able to meet all the UK’s transport needs - for example, Heavy Goods Vehicles are not suited to electric power because of their weight, which means that there needs to be support for other technologies which can fill such gaps. We strongly believe that in future, transport – whether it’s our cars, lorries, ships or planes - is likely to need a mix of electric vehicles and ones powered by hydrogen or renewable liquid fuels depending on the type of use, distances travelled and pace of developments in design.
