(65) The promotion of low carbon fossil fuels that are produced from fossil wastelow carbon fuel streams can also contribute towards the policy objectives of energy diversification and transport decarbonisation. It is therefore appropriate to include those fuels in the incorporation obligation on fuel suppliers.
