(NAFB.com) – In comments submitted last week to Environmental and Climate Change Canada, the Renewable Fuels Association expressed strong support for Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations and shared its view on potential amendments to the program. The comments responded to a December discussion paper that laid out potential targeted amendments meant to “strengthen resiliency and support of the development of Canada’s low-carbon fuel sector, while maintaining the Regulations’ primary focus on lowering GHG emissions and transitioning to a low-carbon economy.” Specifically, the RFA voiced its support for the potential addition of a CFR compliance credit “multiplier” for low-carbon fuels made in Canada as a means of harmonizing biofuel production incentives on both sides of the border. “The credit multiplier, which acts as an incentive, is a market-based, flexible approach that prioritizes logistical and economic efficiency and protects consumers from the potential for higher fuel prices,” said RFA General Counsel Edward Hubbard, Jr.
