Renewable Fuels Regulations

Marginal note:Gasoline pool

• 6 (1) A primary supplier’s gasoline pool for a gasoline compliance period is the total volume of the batches of gasoline that they

  • (a) produce at a production facility and, during the gasoline compliance period, either

    • (i) dispatch from the production facility, or

    • (ii) dispense into the fuel tank of a vehicle or other mobile equipment within the production facility; and

  • (b) import during the gasoline compliance period.

• Marginal note:Distillate pool

  (2) A primary supplier’s distillate pool for a distillate compliance period is the total volume of the batches of diesel fuel and heating distillate oil that they

  • (a) produce at a production facility and, during the distillate compliance period, either

    • (i) dispatch from the production facility, or

    • (ii) dispense into the fuel tank of a vehicle or other mobile equipment within the production facility; and

  • (b) import during the distillate compliance period.

• Marginal note:Batches produced from other batches

  (3) Despite subsections (1) and (2), if a primary supplier produces a batch of gasoline, diesel fuel or heating distillate oil at any of their production facilities from other batches of gasoline, diesel fuel or heating distillate oil, as the case may be, received at that production facility, only that portion of the volume of the batch that exceeds the volume of the other batches is counted for the determination of the total volume in their pool. The primary supplier must, under section 29, record this excess portion as if that excess portion were the batch mentioned under that section.

• Marginal note:Excluded volumes

  (4) Despite subsections (1) and (2), a primary supplier may subtract from their gasoline pool or distillate pool, as the case may be, the volume of a batch, or of a portion of the batch, of fuel in their pool if they make, before the end of the trading period in respect of the compliance period, a record that establishes that the volume was a volume of one of the following types of fuel:

  • (a) gasoline, diesel fuel or heating distillate oil, as the case may be, sold for or delivered for use in aircraft;

  • (b) gasoline, diesel fuel or heating distillate oil, as the case may be, sold for or delivered for use in competition vehicles;

  • (c) gasoline, diesel fuel or heating distillate oil, as the case may be, sold for or delivered for use in scientific research;

  • (d) gasoline, diesel fuel or heating distillate oil, as the case may be, sold for or delivered for use as feedstock in the production of chemicals, other than fuels, in a chemical manufacturing facility;

  • (e) diesel fuel or heating distillate oil, as the case may be, sold for or delivered for use in military combat equipment;

  • (f) diesel fuel or heating distillate oil, as the case may be, represented as kerosene and sold for or delivered for use in unvented space heaters, wick-fed illuminating lamps, or flue-connected stoves and heaters;

  • (g) gasoline sold for or delivered for use in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories, Yukon, Nunavut and that part of Quebec that is north of latitude 60°N;

  • (h) diesel fuel or heating distillate oil, as the case may be, sold for or delivered for use in the Northwest Territories, Yukon, Nunavut and that part of Quebec that is north of latitude 60°N;

  • (i) gasoline, diesel fuel or heating distillate oil, as the case may be, for export; and

  • (j) gasoline, diesel fuel or heating distillate oil, as the case may be, in transit through Canada, from a place outside Canada to another place outside Canada.

• Marginal note:Exclusion of renewable fuel

  (5) Despite subsections (1) and (2), a primary supplier may subtract from their gasoline pool or distillate pool, as the case may be, a volume of renewable fuel that is in a batch of fuel in the pool or in an excess portion of a batch of fuel referred to in subsection (3) in the pool if they have a record that establishes that that volume is renewable fuel.

• Marginal note:Reduction for use of biocrude — gasoline

  (6) A primary supplier may subtract from their gasoline pool for a gasoline compliance period 20% of the volume, if any, of biocrude, other than triglyceride-derived biocrude, that they used as feedstock to produce liquid petroleum fuel during the gasoline compliance period.

• Marginal note:Reduction for use of biocrude — distillate

  (7) A primary supplier may subtract from their distillate pool for a distillate compliance period

  • (a) 20% of the volume, if any, of biocrude, other than triglyceride-derived biocrude, that they used as feedstock to produce liquid petroleum fuel during the distillate compliance period; and

  • (b) 85% of the volume, if any, of triglyceride-derived biocrude that they used as feedstock to produce liquid petroleum fuel during the distillate compliance period.
