據悉，根據加拿大聯邦政府發表置評的一份清潔燃料標準計劃，加拿大煉油商的產品和生產設施面臨著嚴格的監管。

　　據加拿大環境和氣候變化部（ECCC）的一份討論稿稱，加拿大尋求在2030年前將溫室氣體排放量削減30兆噸/年，標準將包括一種市場化途徑，如建立一個信用和交易系統。

　　該標準將刺激使用廣泛的低碳燃料和替代資源和技術，如電力、可再生天然氣、氫氣和可再生燃料。

　　該標準將不僅僅適用于運輸領域的液體、氣體和固態燃料，而且也適用于工業、家庭和建筑物領域。

　　Canada advances new clean-fuel standard

　　Canadian refiners face toughened regulation of their products and facilities under plans for a clean-fuel standard published for comment by the federal government.

　　Seeking to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 30 megatonnes/year by 2030, the standard would include “a market-based approach, such as a crediting and trading system,” according to a discussion paper from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).

　　And it would “incent the use of a broad range of lower-carbon fuels and alternative sources and technologies, such as electricity, renewable natural gas, hydrogen, and renewable fuels.”

　　The standard would apply to liquid, gaseous, and solid fuels used not only in transportation but also in industry, homes, and buildings.
