Canadian RFA, truckers in battle over biodiesel mandate

In Canada, the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association and the Canadian Truckers Alliance are locked in a tit-for-tat debate with consumers ahead of the country’s 2% biodiesel blending mandate set for July 1.

The CTA is claiming that the mandate will push diesel prices higher and that biodiesel is bad for some engines. On the other hand, the CRFA claims price increases would be unnoticeable over a 25-year period and that engines have shown better performance under state testing than with fossil diesel.
