Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) are intended to drive low-carbon fuel growth, and getting the next round of amendments right will be critical for the biofuel sector. A central issue is the growing competitiveness gap in Canada’s ethanol sector. Despite rising demand, domestic production is struggling as subsidized U.S. imports dominate the market. With the CFR amendments now potentially delayed until 2027, uncertainty is creating risks for investment and growth. Some industry representatives are calling for targeted solutions, including a domestic content requirement and a credit multiplier, to ensure Canadian ethanol can compete without restricting trade. 

This webinar, presented in partnership with BASF and RealAgriculture, will unpack the complex and competing policy needs shaping R&D, ethanol production, and broader biofuel innovation. Join us for a timely discussion on how Canada can strike the right balance to foster innovation, support a viable domestic biofuel industry, and ensure the CFR amendments delivers for both the agriculture sector and the country’s broader climate goals.
