Guidance v1

Version one of the guidance should still be used for the remainder of the reporting year 2008-09

Part one

This contains an explanation of carbon and sustainability reporting under the RTFO, lists of sustainability standards that have been benchmarked against the RTFO sustainability principles and default values for the carbon emissions of fuel from different countries and feedstocks. Unless you are looking for specific guidance on reporting with real data, detailed explanations of default fuel chains or guidance on verification of data, this is probably the place to look.

Part two: Carbon reporting - default values and fuel chains 

Part two contains detailed explanations of the full lifecycle analysis of the default carbon values and instructions on using real data to adjust default carbon savings values.

Addenda detailing alterations in the latest versions of the guidance, along with additional documentation, can be found here.
