Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Clean Fuel Regulations?
The Clean Fuel Regulations in Canada work by focusing on lowering the amount of greenhouse gasses released into the environment. These rules encourage the creation and use of cleaner technologies and the spread of fuels that have less impact on the environment across Canada. The rules for the transportation of fuels across Canada were implemented in July 2023.
What are Carbon credits?
Carbon credits, also known as carbon offsets, are units of measurement representing the reduction, avoidance, or removal of one metric ton of carbon dioxide or equivalent greenhouse gasses. They are designed to incentivize the development and adoption of clean technologies and to increase the use of fuels with low carbon impacts.
Why is calculating carbon intensity important under these regulations?
The Clean Fuel Regulation requires fuel suppliers and producers to gradually reduce the carbon intensity by 2030. Calculating carbon intensity helps measure the emissions associated with different types of fuels, inform the effectiveness of clean fuels, technologies and processes, and ensures compliance.
What are compliance credits?
During each compliance period, primary suppliers must demonstrate their compliance by either creating credits or acquiring credits from other creators to meet the required amount of credits for compliance. They are designed to incentivize the development and adoption of clean technologies and to increase the use of fuels with low carbon impacts.
How often do carbon intensity scores need to be recalculated?
Carbon intensity scores will need to be verified annually through third-party verification, and credits could be revoked or updated if input data is found to be incorrect, out of date or missing. Carbon intensity scores may need to be recalculated periodically to ensure accuracy.
Are there specific guidelines that must be followed when calculating carbon intensity?
Yes, Methods for Verification and Certification — Clean Fuel Regulations document, developed and published by the Minister, outlines regulatory requirements and guidance to ensure uniformity in the implementation of the Clean Fuel Regulations.
