Canada looking at potentially doubling biofuel mandates

In Canada, biofuel producers believe Environment and Climate Change Canada may look to double ethanol and blending diesel mandates following consultations with provinces and territories to tackle greenhouse gas emissions through a clean fuel standard. The standard would include buildings, homes and industry in addition to transportation in an effort to reduce GHG emissions 30 megatonnes annually by 2030. The current policy would achieve reductions of 4 megatonnes by that date but could be boosted through an E10 and B5 policy.
