A big change for red diesel users

Big changes ahead for those who use 'red' diesel. 

From 1 April 2022, businesses that are currently using rebated gas oil – also known as red diesel – will no longer be entitled to the rebates that have been in effect. 

Diesel currently contributed to the global warming and climate crisis problem we are all facing, and this government lead policy aims to reduce the use of diesel for his reason. 

Air pollution is also a huge concern - and lowering diesel usage will also help to clean up the air in the UK.

All businesses and individuals who use or supply rebated gas oil and rebated biofuels will be affected.

However, their are a few exceptions, such as:

• Vehicles and machinery that are used in agriculture, horticulture, fish farming and forestry
• Maintenance vehicles used to run on rail tracks
• Generating heat and electricity in non-commercial premises – eg, places of worship, hospitals and town halls
• The heating and lighting of community sports clubs, such as golf courses and club houses
• Fuel for marine craft operating in the UK
• Travelling fairs and circus machinery

Due to the UK passing laws to guarantee an end to its contribution to global warming by 2050, one of the aims of this policy is to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by then.

One of the desired outcomes of this change in policy is that current diesel users may invest in cleaner alternatives and more efficient machinery.

Here at Morclean we have a huge range of all electric machines, that are more so than ever a great investment and a good alternative to diesel machines.

Due to the rising cost of red diesel on top of these policy changes, there is no better time to make the switch and invest in all electric machinery.
