Matters pertaining to renewable transport fuels such as E10 are a matter for the Department of Transport. My Department understands that whilst the product or substance referenced by the Deputy is not supplied, on its own, at scale for the purposes of road transport, it is used as a blending component in producing the petrol that is placed on the market. Alkylate fuel is a fossil fuel and the objective of E10 is to increase the share of renewable fuels used in the transport sector.
