If it is so difficult for Government to bring about this simple, instant and almost cost free step to reduce carbon emissions, what hope is there of achieving the action that #extinctinctionrebellion #ClimateEmergency #GretaThunberg and others are calling for?

youtu.be/grHVYxXFOsg Coverage on BBC Regional News, 1st March 2019. The Ensus Bioethanol plant in Wilton, Teesside resumes production, but Grant Pearson, Commercial Director, cites concerns over the potential reduction in import tariffs as a result of Brexit #stopzerotariffs

This would impact on #UKBioethanol and #UKBiodiesel production, as well as other manufacturing. #StopZeroTariffs

Concern re poorer drivers with older (and dirtier) cars has influenced Govt's #E10 consultation. But is it misplaced? Research on britishbioethanol.com/single… shows older cars are mostly found in richer communities (pos as 2nd / 3rd car in household). This is a case of tail wags dog.

This shows v clearly, how short transport ( heat) are in comparison with renewable power in meeting RE targets. Shown by REA @ #sharedambition18 event. E10 would be a quick win, says Nina #BE10percentgood

As your constituent, @mariacaulfield, I think we could all @BE10percentgood by using #E10, the greener petrol. RT to call on @Jesse_Norman @transportgovuk to introduce it in the UK as a quick, easy and cost-effective way to tackle transport emissions

Lots of interest in my tweet on #airquality benefits of #E10 (up to 95% reduction in PM, 60% toxics, 34% NOx) - and requests for the source. Find the full set of presentations from the @APPGBioethanol meeting, and the source for these impressive stats here bit.ly/2GMkHJ1

Just 5% more #bioethanol in petrol and we get 95% reductions in particulates, NOx down by 34% & carcinogens by 60%. Govt. please let us #BE10percentgood - bring on #E10

The Vivergo plant in Humberside has reopened after a four-month shut-down, but Government needs to act now to introduce #E10 to ensure it's longevity, employment and benefits to British farmers vivergofuels.com/news/bioeth…

EU Ministers’ meeting decisions yesterday - 14% RE in transport for each member state sub-target of 3% for advanced biofuels. The crop cap stays at 7%, but a member state could set it lower and reduce its overall target for renewables in transport - see consilium.europa.eu/en/press…

Pleased to hold a very positive productive meeting with @AndyMcDonaldMP today regarding RTFO legislation and the need for #E10 fuel to decarbonise transport

With this plant closed these all suffer; the workers, the local farmers who supply the plant with wheat, the farmers who buy the plant’s animal feed co product, the UK economy and the environment. Government leadership on clean fuels is needed now. x.com/vivergofuels/status/93…
