Government of Canada to work with provinces, territories, and stakeholders to develop a clean fuel standard

Green Car Congress

The overall objective of a clean fuel standard would be to achieve annual reductions of 30 megatonnes (Mt) of GHG emissions by 2030. A variety of regulatory approaches are used throughout the world to reduce the emissions related to the use of fuel. gasoline, diesel, and heavy-fuel oil); gaseous fuels (e.g., petroleum coke).
