Part 12: Core Fuel Sector Resilience Chapter 1: Introduction Section 268: "Core fuel sector activity" and other key concepts
This section sets out the key concepts used in this part of the Act. "Core fuels" are defined in subsection (4) as either crude oil-based fuels or renewable transport fuels. "Core fuel sector activity", which includes storing of such fuels, amongst other activities, is defined in subsection (2), so far as the activity is carried out in the United Kingdom in the course of a business, and contributes, either directly or indirectly, to the supply of core fuels to consumers or businesses in the UK. Another key concept is that of a "Part 12 facility owner" meaning the owner of a pipeline, terminal or other facility or infrastructure which is used wholly or partly for the purpose of core fuel sector activities.
	This section also defines such concepts as continuity of supply of core fuels and core fuel sector resilience which relate to the purposes for which the measures in this part of the Act may be employed.
