There are many policies designed to reduce transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by increasing the consumption of renewable and low-carbon fuels in Canada. However, there is no detailed and comprehensive government source characterizing these policies and their impact. To address this, Advanced Biofuels Canada has engaged Navius Research to fill this information gap with the annual Biofuels in Canada report.

This report evaluates and communicate the impact of renewable and low-carbon fuel policies in Canada by:

  1. Quantifying the volumes of renewable transportation fuels consumed in each Canadian province.
  2. Reporting on fuel type, feedstock, and carbon intensity (CI) of these fuels: ethanol, bio-diesel and renewable diesel. Co-processed fuels – produced from renewable feedstocks co-refined in a conventional refinery – are also included.
  3. Presenting the sales and stock of light-duty electric vehicles.
  4. Quantifying the GHG emissions impact of these low-carbon energy types.
  5. Estimating impact of renewable fuel consumption on energy costs, including the role of fuel taxation.
