Now, There's Unsurprising!

Perhaps, we should be less than shocked to learn that the lobbyist running the FairFuelUK campaign is a director of Ultimum (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/mar/02/lobbyist-opposed-to-uk-petrol-cars-ban-is-director-of-fuel-additive-firm). The FairFuelUK campaign is working with some environmentally-sceptic UK Members of Parliament, to argue that, the development of, as yet unproven fuel additives, means it's unnecessary to phase out petrol and diesel engines. Ultimum makes one such additive and claiming that it can reduce emissions by 50% (this is contested). So, there's clearly no conflict of interest there! Even if additives can produce emissions reductions, climate and health-damaging gases would still be being spewed out! It also currently doesn't seem to be an opportune time, to maintain the UK's dependence on oil to fuel its transport.
