The Canadian Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) is a national clean fuel program which started July 1, 2023. The goal of Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations is to reduce the carbon intensity of the fuel used in Canada, specifically a 15% reduction in average carbon intensity from 2016 emissions by 2030. The CFR are similar to programs that have been implemented already in California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, however, Canada shows leadership as the first country in the world to adopt a clean fuel program at the national level.
The CFR's aim is to achieve carbon reduction goals by setting performance standards for clean fuels and encouraging the use of lower-carbon fuels, such as electricity. The Canadian CFR are administered by the Environment and Climate Change Canada.
As a registered corporate entity in Canada, FuSE can help facilitate participation in the CFR.
1 - Use Electric or Hydrogen Vehicles in Your Fleet
Using an EV fleet or planning upgrades? Clean Fuel Standards provide financial incentives that reduce the cost of operating electric and hydrogen-powered fleets, making sustainability more financially viable.
FuSE tracks fleet assets and energy consumption by location. When required, we assist with sub-metering installations for non-networked or eligible charging infrastructure.
3 - We Register, Report, and Monetize Your Credits
FuSE registers partners across state regulatory systems, manages reporting submissions, data validation, and all compliance requirements needed to generate LCFS credits.
We aggregate and trade credits on open markets with obligated fuel providers, optimizing pricing by bundling credits across thousands of participating fleets.
You receive quarterly payments in the U.S. or annual payments in Canada. Once enrolled, FuSE manages the entire LCFS credit lifecycle from start to payout.
Canadian Clean Fuel Regulations Credit Market Function
Under Canada’s CFR program, businesses will be able to earn credits by manufacturing or importing low-carbon fuels, implementing changes that decrease the carbon footprint of their fuels, or buying verified carbon offset credits. Businesses with extra credits can then sell them to other businesses that need to balance out deficits.
Using electric vehicles and equipment in operations may qualify a company for participation in the CFR. Credits can then be sold to fuel suppliers and importers who are required to comply with the standard, but have not been able to reduce the carbon intensity of their own fuels to the required level.
