Canola industry welcomes release of unofficial final Clean Fuel Regulations
The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) is pleased to see the release of the unofficial final Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) and its recognition of canola’s potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a low carbon feedstock for biofuels.
The CFR provides options that would allow Canadian grown crops to be fully accepted as sustainable and compliant with land use and biodiversity criteria. It also recognizes regenerative farm practices such as no-till and minimal till, contributing to canola’s low carbon intensity and feedstock of choice in biofuel production.

U.S. EPA recognizes canola for its GHG emissions reduction in advanced biofuels
Canola’s contribution as a solutions-provider in helping to address climate change was recently recognized, with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed decision that canola oil-derived renewable diesel, jet fuel and other biofuels qualify as “advanced biofuels” under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program.
The proposed decision found that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from renewable diesel, jet fuel and other fuels derived from canola oil were more than 50 per cent lower than petroleum-based fuels.
