Specific Details The Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation and proposed Renewable Heat Obligation are not functioning due to lack of supervision of certification scheme ISCC. Instead of genuine sustainable biofuels - with benefits for Ireland such as farm incomes, agri-food sustainability and energy independence - the majority of biofuels are from palm oil falsely labelled as palm oil mill effluent and used cooking oil. Ireland's Biomethane Strategy ambitions have no hope in the face of such unfair competition.

Intended results Exclusion of extra-EU product from the RTFO and RHO.
