Renewable oil would be carbon neutral, I suppose.

At the moment the 'renewable mix' includes biomass, which is similar.

Interestingly, I recently saw a British supplier advertising not only renewable but vegan electricity... Because standard renewable includes animal waste biomass. Is this going too far?

I saw that too - I wouldn't say it is going too far - if people want to pay for it and it doesn't harm others - then why not?

Since energy generation is a 'free market' in the UK - why shouldn't there be more niche suppliers?
