Canada has many policies aimed at reducing transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by increasing the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels. Yet no single government source provides a detailed, comprehensive picture of these policies and their impacts. To fill this gap, Advanced Biofuels Canada has engaged Navius Research to produce the annual Biofuels in Canada report, now in its 11th year.
This report evaluates and communicates the impact of renewable and low-carbon fuel policies in Canada by:
- Quantifying the volumes of renewable transportation fuels consumed in each Canadian province.
- Reporting on the fuel type, feedstock and carbon intensity (CI) of ethanol, biodiesel and renewable diesel, as well as co-processed fuels produced from renewable feedstocks co-refined in conventional refineries. For the first time, this year’s analysis also quantifies the supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Canada.
- Presenting the sales and stock of light-duty electric vehicles.
- Quantifying the GHG emissions impact of these renewable and low-carbon energy sources.
- Estimating the annual supply of Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) credits and the size of the cumulative credit bank or deficit.
- Estimating the impact of renewable fuel consumption on energy costs, including the role of fuel taxation.
- Communicating trends in Canadian renewable fuel trade.
