On this one they have a point. The only reason it is commercial viable is due to the high fuel taxation on Derv. The fact is they are paying to import the used oil .

Yes we get it all...the whole thing is a farce ...hvo is ultimately a green washing excercise it's just the laughable fact of two government departments fighting each other

exactly ....
"However, not everyone is so keen on it. HVO has often been produced from palm oil, extracted from deforested rainforest plantations and transported halfway around the world. It maybe good with regards to tailpipe emissions, but embedded emissions in production and transportation are not so great.

Only 8% of all verified renewable fuel supplied to the UK is produced from UK origin feedstocks, according to latest government statistics. However, the same statistics report that 100% of biodiesel sold in the UK comes from waste feedstock (and 93% from used cooking oil), not from virgin palm oil. While that is the position now, an Environment Agency report last year expressed concern about the supply chain for waste oil and how long before it ran dry."

and the more that gets used the shorter the supply of its base constituents will be
