Renewable Fuels Standard engagement

Stakeholders shared input to help us review Alberta’s Renewable Fuels Standard.

Overview

We gathered input from Renewable Fuels Standard stakeholders to ensure the standard remains effective and relevant to current technologies, markets and fuel use. 

Reviewing the standard could stimulate new investment and support increased uptake of low-carbon fuel feedstocks and low-carbon fuels in Alberta’s transportation sector.

Stakeholders were invited to share feedback on:

  • minimum blend rates and emission reduction requirements
  • expansion of the scope to include alternative (non-renewable) feedstocks and low-carbon fuels such as co-processed fuels
  • potentially providing greater support for the uptake of sustainable aviation fuel

Status

  • Open

  • Results under review

  • Completed

Alberta's Renewable Fuels Standard involves fuels produced from renewable materials in the form of renewable fuel alcohols such as ethanol blended into gasoline and bio-based diesel blended into diesel. These can be produced using both traditional and emerging technologies based on advanced chemical and biological processes.
