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

Green Car Congress

The Government of Canada will consult with provinces and territories, Indigenous peoples, industries, and non-governmental organizations to develop a clean fuel standard. The standard would require reductions in the carbon footprint of the fuels supplied in Canada, based on lifecycle analysis. Some jurisdictions (e.g., petroleum coke).
