加拿大拟修订《清洁燃料法规》扶持低碳燃料产业：10月30日刊宪，公众咨询75天
加拿大环境与气候变化部10月27日在渥太华宣布，政府拟修订《清洁燃料法规》，以扶持加拿大低碳燃料产业、支持国内生产并推动温室气体长期减排；修订草案将于10月30日刊登于《加拿大公报》第一部分，其后展开为期75天的公众咨询。
环境、气候变化与自然部长 Julie Dabrusin 说：「我们设计的修订方案旨在支持加拿大的低碳燃料部门，确保有韧性的长期减排，同时建设未来的脱碳产业。我们期待继续与产业界、各省和地区、原住民伙伴及其他利益相关方合作，推进这些措施。」
按环境部说明，修订意在三方面发力：缩小加拿大低碳燃料生产商面对的竞争力差距，使其能在国内市场公平竞争；为燃料领域的清洁技术项目创造投资条件，例如在乙醇等低碳燃料设施部署碳捕集与封存、在炼厂将油菜籽油等生物基原料与原油共加工；并让企业以更低成本合规、逐步可靠地降低燃料排放。
环境部表示，《清洁燃料法规》生效以来，其信用市场规模已增长至超过30亿加元，支持了对低碳燃料、农业、林业与清洁技术的投资，并带动相关就业、设施、原料需求与国内产能。
Canada Proposes Clean Fuel Regulations Changes to Back Low-Carbon Fuel Industry, With 75-Day Consultation
Environment and Climate Change Canada announced in Ottawa on October 27 that the government is proposing amendments to the Clean Fuel Regulations to strengthen Canada's low-carbon fuel industry, support domestic production and encourage long-term reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed amendments will be published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on October 30, followed by a 75-day public consultation period.
'Our government designed these proposed amendments to support Canada's low-carbon fuel sector and ensure resilient long-term emissions reductions while building the decarbonized industries of the future,' said Julie Dabrusin, Minister of the Environment, Climate Change and Nature. 'We look forward to continuing to work with industry, provinces and territories, Indigenous partners, and other stakeholders as we advance these measures.'
The department said the amendments would close the competitiveness gap facing Canadian producers so they can compete fairly in the domestic market; create conditions for more investment in clean technology projects in the fuels sector, such as carbon capture and storage at ethanol and other low-carbon fuel facilities and co-processing bio-based feedstocks such as canola oil alongside crude oil at refineries; and make compliance easier and cheaper while fuels supplied to Canadians lower emissions gradually and reliably.
Since the Regulations came into effect, the credit market has grown to more than $3 billion, supporting investment in low-carbon fuels, agriculture, forestry and clean technology, along with the jobs, facilities, feedstock demand and domestic production capacity those credits help create and sustain, the department said.
