As you will probably know by now, red diesel has been banned for use in most vehicles from April 2022. The restrictions were imposed to encourage businesses to use low emission alternative fuels. Many industries have lost their access to rebated red diesel since the change in rules. Red diesel may still be used for:
- Commercial boating such as for fishing along with passenger ferries and inland water freight industries
- Non-commercial power generation for the likes of hospitals and households who are off-the-grid
- Agriculture, horticulture, forestry and fish farming
- Passenger, maintenance and freight vehicles that run on rail tracks
- Non-commercial heating, like places of worship, town halls and off-the-grid homes
- Travelling circuses and funfairs
- Amateur community sports clubs and golf courses
Industries not listed above can now only use fuel taxed at the standard rate for white diesel. Those industries and applications that can no longer use rebated fuels include:
- Commercial generators
- Commercial heating
- Construction
- Haulage
- Logistics
- Leisure
- Mining and quarrying
- Manufacturing
- Ports
- Plant hire
- Road maintenance
- Waste management
Advice for those having to change to white diesel was that they would not have to clean and flush their tanks beforehand. People can still use red diesel for non commercial heating and electricity generation. It is also advised that people save their receipts and invoices, to show they have been buying full-duty fuels, and not stockpiling. You can read the latest comprehensive guidelines here.
