Canada Gazette - Part I, October 31, 2026, volume 160, number 44

According to the Canada Gazette's website, Part I contains public notices, official appointments and proposed regulations from the Government of Canada.[3]Stillwater Associates reports that the main change would be a credit multiplier of 1.3 to 1.8, depending on fuel type, for low-carbon fuels produced in Canada.[1] The firm says that as drafted, the amendments would apply retroactively to January 1, 2026.[1]Environment and Climate Change Canada says the proposal is now available for a 75-day consultation period, ending on January 14, 2027.[4]Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin told Biobased Diesel that the government "designed these proposed amendments to support Canada's low-carbon fuel sector."[5]980 CJME reports that the proposed 1.3x multiplier for ethanol falls short of the 1.4x minimum[2] that Grain Farmers of Ontario, the Farms and Fuels Alliance and Renewable Industries Canada had asked for.The Canadian Fuels Association says the proposal would also increase from 10% to 15% the share of compliance obligations[6] that suppliers can meet by paying into registered emissions reduction funding programs. Biobased Diesel reports that biofuel maker Covenant Energy welcomed the amendments but wants a "proper balancing mechanism to ensure demand stays whole."[5]Stillwater Associates says it expects the amendments to reduce overall demand for low-carbon fuel in Canada[1], and that most of that drop will come from imported renewable diesel.
