Britain says new biofuel targets will reduce diesel reliance

British biofuel targets coming into force this weekend will double the use of renewable fuels in the UK transport sector in 15 years and reduce reliance on imported diesel, the government said Friday. The new targets, which take effect on April 15, will compel transport fuel suppliers who sell at least 450,000 litres a year or more to make sure the mix is at least 12.4% biofuel by 2032, the government said. The industry supplies fuel to transport companies such as haulage businesses and airlines. The changes will also reward and support the production of sustainable renewable aviation fuels in Britain. <br/>
