It is amazing that going from red diesel to white diesel will improve the environment.

I hope this is not taken out of context but it is from the web page.
"At Budget 2020, the government therefore announced that it would remove the entitlement to use red diesel and rebated biodiesel from most sectors from April 2022 to help meet its climate change and air quality targets."


Changing from red to white diesel I cant see making an environmental difference.

Agreed it beggars belief. I read another part of this policy where it says... "Registered fuel suppliers that switch a fuel tank from red to white diesel will need to flush out the tank and supply lines until no trace of marked rebated fuel remains. This will help to ensure compliance and minimise the risk that white diesel that has had the full duty rate paid on it is contaminated with the red diesel marker."
