Canada possesses the resource, knowledge and experience to be a pioneer in producing cleaner fuels and clean fuel technology.
Developing cleaner fuels will take a combination of innovative ideas and comprehensive, thoughtful policies. Developing new and cleaner fuels can reduce the carbon intensity of moving people and goods.
As the Clean Fuel Standard [SB1] [SB2] and related provincial policies are developed and released, our discussions as part of this working group will help companies devise strategies and generate ideas to drive continued innovation in Canada and policies that cultivate the clean resource ecosystem.
Cross-sector members are providing their expertise, company resources and their ideas to develop cleaner fuels technology and policy advice. Examples include innovative fuels and the production of fuels from biogenic feedstocks, potentially including waste products, bitumen partial upgrading, or other novel processes.
