Canada to enforce B2 biodiesel mandate as of July 1

February 11, 2011 |

In Canada, the Harper Government announced that it is moving forward with the requirement for an average 2 per cent renewable content in diesel fuel and heating oil.

The Government’s press release stated that when fully implemented, the Strategy’s two regulatory requirements combined with provincial regulations will ensure a total volume of renewable fuel that will reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by up to four megatonnes-about the equivalent of taking one million vehicles off the road.  The proposed regulatory amendment will be published in the Canada Gazette, Part I in the coming weeks for a 60-day public comment period. The Government of Canada is proposing a coming into force date of July 1, 2011.
