New E10 fuel has been successful in dramatically lowering road pollution across the UK, according to a new analysis from the Department for Transport.
The DfT’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) annual report revealed that “millions of tonnes” of CO2 had been prevented since the introduction of the new compound.
E10 fuel was first launched across UK petrol stations back in September 2021, replacing E5 as the standard compound.
Ahead of its launch, experts had predicted E10 fuel would reduce CO2 emissions by around 750,000 tonnes per year.
This would have been the equivalent of taking 350,000 cars off the road in a major environmental boost but there were fears the compound could damage classic cars.
