The UK Department for Transport has published the final Official Statistics report for the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO), covering the supply of renewable fuels in the United Kingdom for the calendar year January to December 2026.
The publication, titled Official Statistics: Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) statistics 2026: Final report, appears on the department’s official web pages and is dated 2 October 2026. The item is presented as a final statistical release by the Department for Transport.
The report’s stated scope is limited to the supply of renewable fuels during the twelve months of 2026. It sets out the data assembled by the department to record how renewable transport fuels were supplied across that period.
As an Official Statistics release, the document is the department’s formal statistical account for the RTFO for the year in question. The report’s final status indicates it is the completed compilation of the 2026 dataset rather than a provisional update.
Publication of the final RTFO statistics provides a single, department-endorsed reference for the year’s renewable fuel supply. Market participants, analysts and policy teams typically look to such releases for a consistent record of supply metrics, though the report itself should be consulted for the detailed tables and methodology.
What the report covers
The department describes the report as covering the supply of renewable fuels for January to December 2026. That supply-focused scope means the release records volumes and categories as assembled by the department for the calendar year, and is presented as the final statistical statement for 2026.
Readers seeking detailed figures, tables, breakdowns by fuel type or methodology will need to consult the report itself. The department’s published item is the primary reference for those details and for any explanatory notes that accompany the statistics.
Release timing and status
The department dated the final report 2 October 2026. Its presentation as an Official Statistics release denotes that the figures are the department’s authoritative dataset for the RTFO supply over the 2026 calendar year.
Those tracking year-on-year trends or regulatory compliance under the RTFO should use the report as the definitive published record for 2026, bearing in mind the department’s guidance and notes contained within the release.
Use and next steps
The final report supplies the consolidated statistics for the year and will serve as the reference for subsequent commentary, analysis and any formal assessments that require the 2026 supply record. For the exact numbers, categorisations and accompanying methodological notes, the Department for Transport’s published report is the source to consult.
The department’s published item is available on its official site and is presented under the department’s statistics announcements. The report title, date and stated coverage should be used to identify the correct document when consulting the department’s archive or citing the 2026 RTFO dataset.
