The Government believes that consumption of red diesel in agriculture has declined and that the use of alternative fuels has increased.
A copy of the call for evidence document is available here.
For users of red diesel the Government has the following questions:
- What purposes and type of use is red diesel put to, such as business, public sector or domestic?
- Where red diesel is used as motor fuel what types of machinery is it used to power and what are the machines used for?
- Where in the country is red diesel used and how many machines it is used to power?
- What are opinions on whether there are any alternatives to red diesel.
The NFU will be responding to the call for evidence and would like to hear your opinions.
